With the 9th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors select... Collin Murray-Boyles out of the University of South Carolina.
Imagine I am giving my best Adam Silver impression. Anyway, that’s what the Raptors did at last night’s NBA Draft, selecting Collin Murray-Boyles No. 9 overall, shocking people given that Khaman Maluach was still on the board. Murray-Boyles was one of the prospects we had as an option for the Raptors, but Khaman Maluach seemed to be the overwhelming favourite among oddsmakers, fans, and scouts. He would have filled the team’s immediate need for a backup center prospect and appeared to have a high ceiling.
