Collin Murray-Boyles Thread

[PushDaRock]

probably the only guy that wasn't shying away from Wemby at the rim

[dballislife]

true winner on both ends

Watch on YouTube

he got more deflections than i thought, his feet and hands are so dam quick for his heaviness

[WuTang_CMB]

people keep mentioning the height, i mean which is a problem, but the wingspan and standing reach is solid for a big...and the main factor is hes as heavy and strong as most centers...he can handle it down there especially with his quick feet and hands to go with high iq

most times all the scouts / media get carried away with measurements. everyone gets horny for a 6'10 guy with a 6+ wingpspan - I get it im guilty too

but when you have players like CMB with decent enough measurements, and are versatile to play multiple defensive positions along with a high IQ, you just have to say these guys can play no matter what. Very much like a draymond type impact, who also has the same measurements as CMB

[ForeverTFC]

He has great instincts and his awareness/IQ jumps off the screen. Finally, a Draymond comp that somewhat makes sense.

I don't care if he's 6'7", he's got a 7'2" wingspan. That's insanely athletic.

7'0” wingspan**

[LoveMyRaps]

Immense potential.

Extremely high IQ on both ends and already an All-Defense calibre player.
Veteran like poise and a ton of confidence in his ability. He knows what he's good at right now and sticks to it.

Over time I believe he'll develop a jumpshot and improve his 3pt shooting. Although that 3pt stroke looked pretty sweet last night. His three made 3s were smooooooth.

His forearms are so long, I'd take the over.

[TheDunc]

CMB if health permits can play 30min a night right away, C isnt an ideal position but he can hold down the fort till Jak gets healthy.

If his 3 ever becomes a consistent weapon then were talking a Draymond Green replica with a better driving game

7'0.75" at the Combine.

South Carolina’s Collin Murray-Boyles’ official measurements from the NBA Draft Combine:

6’6 ½ barefoot, 239.2 lbs with a 7’0 ¾" wingspan and 8’10 ½" standing reach

[AkelaLoneWolf]

If he can keep defenses honest with that 3 he may be a better fit in the starting lineup instead of Barnes.

[Rapsfan07]

Where do you all see CMB playing long term?

He isn't a guard, he's not a center and we already have Barnes/Ingram eating the minutes a SF/PF. He also can't play with Barnes.

Any thoughts?

He can play with Barnes they both can play 3-4-5 positions. But yes, need shooting around them. I don’t really care of the idea of building and making moves around Scottie anymore though. Just amass talent at this point.

If the shooting is real...I guess he could share the floor with Scottie and BI at the 3/4.

For now...I can see him playing 6th man minutes getting 30+ mpg and subbing for Scottie/BI/RJ. His on-ball D is really impressive. Last guy I saw ripping the ball straight off of guys...well...lets just say that the comparison might be...Aspirational.

His D is already pretty strong, so if he can keep that three reasonable? He can play three different positions for varying minutes, which would be extremely valuable.

[HangTime]

I've been saying it for a while,
The power trio of CMB, Scottie, Ingram will unlock everything.
They'll make the other 2 players be truly optimized.

This hinges pretty heavily on some major development from Scottie and CMB, and on BI being a lot healthier than he has proven to be, though.

He’s a small 4. He plays the same position as Barnes which makes the pick questionable but you could get away with playing him on the wing, but he’d have to really really improve his 3 point shooting to respectable levels and Barnes would need to keep up his shooting. The reason I focus on shooting is because there would be limited creation from the perimeter. I think he’s easily our backup PF with his defensive activity and disruption.

[Raptorfan2012]

If CMB was 2 inches taller, he would probably have been a top 5 pick as a 4/5. He has the skills to be a C; just a bit small but he has proven in college he can bang against guys bigger than him.
