Collin Murray-Boyles starred at South Carolina, and now he’ll be taking his talents to the Toronto Raptors, who made the former Gamecocks power forward the 9th overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
The 6-foot-7, 245-pounder was born in Columbia, S.C., and stayed in his hometown for 2 strong seasons at South Carolina. Murray-Boyles didn’t get the Gamecocks to the NCAA Tournament last season, as they struggled to a 12-20 record. But that wasn’t the fault of Murray-Boyles, who averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists for South Carolina last season. Maybe most impressive in his stat line was that he shot 58.6% from the field.
As a freshman in the 2023-24 season, Murray-Boyles came out of the gates strong, averaging 10.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting an even better 59.7% from the field.
Murray-Boyles was unique during his 2 seasons at South Carolina in that he averaged 1 block per game during both years while also averaging 1.5 steals per contest this past season and 1.0 steals per game as a freshman, so he contributed at the rim and in the steals column.
He was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2024 and was a 2nd-team All-SEC selection as a sophomore in 2025.
Now, it’s off to the NBA and a journey that will begin north of the border in Toronto.
