For me, this is all a moot discussion.
Fit is the worst thing to think about when you do a draft.
You go for talent and the one that has the biggest chance of stardom in the NBA.
The Kings thought about fit in 2018 and passed on Luka, they later learned the lesson and got Halliburton.
When it didn't work, they managed to trade him for an All NBA center.
If Boozer is the best player, available where we draft, you take him.
He fits great with Flagg? Great.
He is a questionable fit? You have a highly coveted young asset and you can flip him or Cooper (because there is a chance Boozer is the better player) for what you want
You only trade down if you don't think he is the best player, while you know other teams does.
And in a draft that is hyped like this one, I doubt any GM would risk trading downtbh
