We agree that center is the most important/impactful position. To maximize his value I’d have thought he’d be playing center but he doesn’t. There must be something in his game that makes him more valuable to his team playing wing than playing as a center but I’m not sure what it is. When I watch him and read about him he seems to be the most talented FWD in the draft by a large margin.

Was actually asked in a Scott Wheeler Mailbag for the Athletic.

If you don't have a subscription summary is that Wheeler speculates McKenna prefers wing. Wheeler also says McKenna is wiry and doesn't have the prototypical center build, where he is more physically similar to Elias Pettersson or Kent Johnson at the same age.
