Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Headed to Toronto
Rotowire
Murray-Boyles was selected by the Raptors with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Murray-Boyles returned to South Carolina for his sophomore season and broke out with averages of 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks over 32 games.
