13. Atlanta Hawks (via Kings): Collin Murray-Boyles (South Carolina, PF)



Size: 6'7", 245 lbs
Age: 19
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparisons: Julius Randle, Anthony Mason

Despite moving on from general manager Landry Fields, it seems reasonable to expect the Hawks will continue building around Trae Young, Dyson Daniels and Zaccharie Risacher. That could push the team's draft focus to its frontcourt.

Collin Murray-Boyles was one of the toughest one-on-one covers in the SEC, even without a jump shot. The big question asks how well his offense will translate to the next level, given the questions about the fit of a 6'7", 245-pound, non-shooting "big."

But aside from scoring with strength, footwork and instincts from the post, he did more this year facing up, using his dribble and both hands to attack and finish. The ability to initiate offense and drive from the perimeter has helped create extra, needed scoring versatility for the next level.

CMB was the Gamecocks' 4th or 5th option two seasons ago. 

This past season, he was the number one option. 

He went from having team success to not having team success this past season.

He has always had a great percentage from the field, but he needed to be a three point threat for his team. 

I hope a team in the lottery wastes their pick on CMB before #13, so we have more options. I can hope but it won't happen. We do not need him.

Murray-Boyles is certainly a flawed, polarizing prospect.

His defense is pretty phenomenal...and his post scoring is surprisingly effective.

The entire Gamecocks roster sucked except for CMB. Someone had to standout on offense and defense. CMB took advantage of the moment.

Nobody on the roster had a field goal % in the 40% range.

Two players had a field goal percentage of 50% or higher. CMB being one of them.

A roster full of 30% shooters.

The NIL has made things difficult for Coach Lamont Paris.
