Insider suggests the surprise team as best for Cooper Flag

There is no doubt that Duke Basketball Freshman Sensation Cooper Flagg will be the first overall election in the NBA design of 2025 this summer. The only unknown is which team has the right to design him.

The Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz have the best chance of receiving the first overall selection at 14%. However, there is a confusion of teams behind them who move one after the other and can make the first choice via the lottery.

However, an insider has a fascinating choice for which the NBA team believes that it is best suited for flag. CBS Sports Insider Kyle Boone recently spoke about the NBA franchise at the CBS Sports Show “HQ Spotlight”, which he would like to see the 18-year-old superstar with most.

“I would choose the Philadelphia 76ers … and it is for several reasons,” said Boone. “One of them is that the 76s have one of the most exciting young nuclei in the NBA. They have Jared McCain, who was fantastic last season before an injury. Tyrese Maxey is on this squad. Quentin Grimes, who took them in the middle of the season in the middle of the season, was fantastic and it was at a good time. I think the young core that is established in Philadelphia could really benefit from a player like Flagg.

The 76s were perhaps the most disappointing team in the NBA last season. After Paul George signed a Max contract in the last seasonal season, Philadelphia was considered a constant NBA championship candidate. But things didn't go to plan.

Embiid and George injuries completely derailed for Philly when the franchise ended with a 24: 58 record, the fifth time in the NBA.

Bringing flag into this team would be one of the most interesting scenarios because the Sixers are not in a reconstruction and may be ready next season. Although George and Empbiid get older and may never have reached the value of their contracts, there is still a chance that they will come back and dominant again next season.

And on top of that, the Sixers have several young people who showed a lot of promises at an early stage. McCain, a former Duke Blue Devil, looked like the best rookie in the class last season before suffering from a meniscus tear at the end. Maxey is one of the best young guards in the NBA, and boys like Grimes and Adem Bona showed lightning as a potential effects in the future.

The Sixers have a chance of 10.5%to land the first overall selection, and if this is the case and lands flag, it would be really difficult to see the Sixers at least a deep playoff candidate next year.
