With the 9th Pick, the Raptors select Collin Murray-Boyles!

I think some of y’all are overreacting. CMB was probably hoping to be drafted earlier, some mock drafts had him going higher, so when his name was called, he was like “it’s about effin time”!

[Dalek]

Been wanting CMB since last season and now it's a reality. Wild that it happened but this shows me we wanted a guy who could play now.

[Clutch0z24]

When you are upset at being drafted to the NBA...Thats a red flagg to me...Hope he changes his mind but that reaction alone to getting millions of dollars to play the game you love seems dumb...

[littlerock2277]

Scottie Barnes is going to be our future starting center soon. Why are we drafting a guy that plays the same position as our best player?

Because, respectfully to Barnes, he's not good enough for a team to pass up whoever they think the best player is.

Might as well run a small ball lineup at this point. He invested a lot in Barnes is what I meant. But I’ll give masai the benefit of the doubt he has drafted well throughout his career. If they can both learn how to shoot that definitely looks like a scary defensive duo.

I don't usually get too invested into the draft because they always pick someone unexpected. BUT the needs were clear and the right prospects were there so hard not to be disappointed. I don't know why Masai Ujiri and co. seem so allergic to size even as we get toyed around by teams like Cavs.

Potential trade with okc

.... what?????????

LMAO. They cut the "****" right out.

[xAIRNESSx]

I can’t help but crack up every time I see his reaction

[MEDIC]

Props to DH.

He was all.over it.

Was this not obvious?

[Wise80]

I don't follow college or prospects.

Did we just draft a guy who can't shoot and plays the 3/4? Or is he strictly an undersized 4 with no perimeter skills?

[LoveMyRaps]

Disappointed in CMB for his post-draft reaction, but whatever... players eventually fall in love with the city.

[GLF]

I’m so glad everyone here hates the pick, that means he’s gonna be good. And to say Masai only drafts wings who can’t shoot when the last two drafts we drafted shooters and picked up an undrafted shooter in Battle is quite hilarious. Y’all just be saying anything on here at this point lol

[gha4life]

What a fail !!!!!,hard to be excited for a guy who clearly showed discontent of being drafted by ur team

[NinjaBro]

Can't shoot, don't want to be here. Wtf we doing.

[ill-Will03]

Come on you guys should know by now not to doubt Masai and his drafting. He wasn’t my top pick but Masai definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to drafting for sure.

Some of you overreacting for no reason

This thread is going to be funny. Reminds me of the Scotty Barnes pick. People crying because they went off the board.

CMB has traits you can't teach. Can't wait to see him playing defense beside Scotty.

lol, one of the most overrated notions is traits you can't teach

NBA Comparison: Gerald Wallace/Andre Iguodala

Strengths: MKG is a strong, athletic small forward who possesses the intangibles that can’t be taught … He’s at his best in open space, whether it’s in the half court or transition … While most use separation to rise and fire, MKG uses it to build momentum and fearlessly attack the basket … Excellent finisher at the rim with explosive leaping ability, soft hands and the ability to adjust in mid-air … Tremendous length allows him to effortlessly finish plays with dunks … Also able to absorb and finish after contact … Moves well off the ball terms of angling his cuts as a slasher … Does not need the ball to be effective or impact a game … Though not known for his jumper, showed some promise spotting up when his feet are set … Strong, aggressive rebounder thanks to his relentless pursuit of the ball, non-stop motor and athleticism … Lockdown defensive potential with the versatility to guard to 3-4 different positions … Physical on-ball defender with a high awareness level off the ball … Has a desire, intensity and will to win that elevates his status into elite level despite not having elite skills or potential …

Weaknesses: Jack of all trades, master of none … MKG’s biggest weakness surrounds his inability to create his own shot in the half court … Sometimes too intent on getting to the rim when a short pullup is the better play, which he hasn’t consistently shown he has in his arsenal… Lacks range on his jump shot, and won’t be considered a stretch-threat by opposing defenses … Shooting motion has a hitch in it, which will be an issue as he looks to extend his shooting range … A bit undersized at the next level to get the same easy buckets he got in college … Could use some work as a ball-handler on the perimeter …

Overall: Though he doesn’t have the typical upside of a top 2-5 pick, he poses zero risk when you consider his intangibles and physical tools … Instead of saying he has a low ceiling, it’s more appropriate to say he has a high basement … There’s not a team in the league that doesn’t have a need for what MKG brings to the table … He’s a two-way player that can contribute in a number of a different ways, and while he’s not going to compete for any scoring titles, his strengths can inspire teammates and energize a fan base …

how did that turn out

Well it was for me but some people are suggesting that he was disappointed to be drafted by the Raptors…just saying…
