Offensive Game
Physical finisher in the paint with strong hands and positioning; three-point range is early-stage but mechanics are sound enough to project meaningful improvement over time.

Collin Murray-Boyles arrived in Toronto as the ninth pick of the 2025 draft and spent his rookie year proving the Raptors right. At 6-foot-7, he's an undersized power forward who wins with feel rather than length — guarding across positions, reading passing lanes, and working as a short-roll playmaking hub instead of just a finisher. He started 22 of 57 games, averaging 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds on efficient shooting, and closed the year on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. The trust he earned showed in the postseason, where his scoring jumped to 14.4 a night. The South Carolina product's defensive versatility is the swing skill Toronto is betting on long-term.

Physical finisher in the paint with strong hands and positioning; three-point range is early-stage but mechanics are sound enough to project meaningful improvement over time.
Defensive Game
Elite defensive instincts for his age — anticipates well, contests at a high rate, and uses his physical strength to hold position against both interior players and mobile wings.
Intangibles
His defensive IQ is already professional-level; offensive reads and late-clock decision-making are developing but the intelligence that drives his defense will also drive his offensive growth.

Did You Know?
Born and raised in Columbia, SC — he never left his home state for college, playing for the Gamecocks at South Carolina.
The ninth overall pick in 2025 — the highest draft pick the Raptors have made since they took RJ Barrett with the third pick in 2019... except Barrett was a Knick first. Murray-Boyles was drafted directly by Toronto.
His defensive IQ drew comparisons to players a decade older during the pre-draft process — evaluators consistently described it as generational for a player his age.
