"Firstly, the Raptors had their highest draft selection since 2021 (where they selected Scottie Barnes), the 9th pick, with which they selected Collin Murray-Boyles - a sophomore forward out of South Carolina. Of course, I loved the selection as 'CMB' was one of my favorite prospects in the draft - the Raptors keep selecting guys I talk a lot about, every year... hmm... much to consider - largely because of his, in my view, exceptional defensive ability and unique driving game"

That's something that I feel puts me ahead of a lot of defenders. My willingness to defend, that's my #1 thing. That's what gets me going in games. That's what gets my team going - when I'm playing defense.""
The Raptors used the ninth overall pick to select Collin Murray-Boyles, a sophomore forward from South Carolina. Murray-Boyles measures 6'6.5″ with a 7'0.75″ wingspan, an 8'10" standing reach and 239 lbs, and posted 16.8 ppg, 8.3 rbs, 2.4 asts, 1.5 stls, and 1.3 blks with a .586/.265/.707 shooting line and 63% TS. He emphasizes physical defense and willingness to guard, calling defense his #1 attribute and promising to be a hard worker. Summer League produced mixed box-score results, but he stood out as a top defender and showed his floor game. Masai Ujiri was fired shortly after the pick.
