I don't know know how big of a risk it is, but would a GM risk a 1-3 OA on it? I bet some wouldn't.

GM's usually need to have a decent background in law, but even then, if they don't, either somebody else in the organization would/shoul.
You can bet all 32 teams (but even more specifically, the teams at the top of the draft) would due their legal due diligence before selecting him.
But even then, say he's sentenced to even a year or two (<0.00001% in my personal opinion), he's still gonna be drafted top 3 lol. Say he was sentence to 5 years (lols), he's still easily a 1st round pick off of pure talent and the following 10+ years of his career he'd provide from potential/hype/talk/marketing/etc.. alone (damn, imagine his physical maturation with a couple years of prison time lol).
And on another hand, is it impossible to foresee a future in which - if the McKenna sticking up for his mom story turns out to be true - McKenna is getting bonkers sponsorships from companies that lean on family/loyalty/character/etc.? I don't personally think so.
But then again, I'm just waiting for the full facts to come out before passing judgement
