We're probably drafted Terrence Shannon Jr.
Masai doesn't do any background checks, he doesn't care about off-court issues.
McDaniels and Kurucs are a couple recent examples.

Who is kurucs?
Nets’ wing Rodions Kurucs has been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. According to the charges, Kurucs choked his girlfriend on the night of June 27th in his Brooklyn apartment during an argument.
Kurucs, 21, was charged with “obstructing the woman’s breathing.” He also, allegedly, slapped his girlfriend in the face twice, bit her lip and forcefully tossed her on the bed, hurting her ribs. Under New York state law, the charge is a misdemeanor.
From the Daily News which first broke news of the arrest.

TBF, a lot of those mocks are because Det is going 1 and they feel they don't need another C/PF
Sarr is definitely the consensus #1 prospect in this draft
If he was the consensus #1 pick then team fit wouldn't matter. You think if Detroit was picking first last year the mocks have them passing on Wemby because they already have Duren?
Consensus #1 doesn't = generational talent. Just means he's perceived as the best prospect from the masses. Now if you don't feel he's a generational talent, then fit should come into play...

Dalek wrote:My hot take is if we keep 6 or in that range and draft Dalton Knecht, I think he will win Rookie of the Year. He could start for Toronto because physically he is ready to play NBA minutes and we are not going to be too harsh on defensive mistakes (he needs to improve there but physically I don't see large red flags).
In less of a primary role he can still be a floor spacer and attack closeouts and do it efficiently. I don't see why he couldn't score close to 20 PPG if given starter minutes. Obviously his usage will drop off, but he going to be a favorite outlet for Barnes and Barrett on kick outs.
He basically went from unknown to nearly leading the SEC in scoring and being a Naismith winner. That was in his first year with a team. I mentioned it in a long post before, but if anyone projects as the next Jalen Williams (upper classmen who becomes a star), it is Knecht. His combo of physicality and scoring is pretty rare given his FTR, dunks and threes.

Bingo
. There is no consensus first overall pick this year. Sarr may be favored, but he is far from the consensus.

Not from the mainstream mocks that I have seen.
