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

[NBA Sheady]

The Raptors FO has been talking about drafting BPA for 10+ years, so not sure why ppl still fixate on positional need or fit with the current roster.

It's a universally or nearly universally embraced philosophy across the entire NBA. I'm amazed any serious fan doesn't know about this.

He has a 7'1 wingspan, an 8'10 standing reach and he's 240 lbs. He's going to be able to play some smallball C. He's a guy you can just throw out there, and he will figure it out on both ends because of his versatility.

I like betting on hard workers with high motors that make winning plays.

Yup. He’s not small and he has some ups. He’s not a full time center but he and Mogbo can play together off the bench and wreak havoc.

Hes also better offensively than I think people are giving him credit for. He’s a more natural scorer than Scottie, and Scottie puts up 20 per game.

I so love this pick.... I was dreading a KM pick.... But Masai & Bobby came through and grabbed my favourite player in the draft...

Chat GPT had CMB go 10th so... and it predicted a Sorber rise just not to 9 but 15. Never thought Ainge would grab Bailey. Brooklyn reached for a shot challenged guard but Hansen Yang takes the Bruno award.

We always forget that players gets emotional in these moments and we can’t take conclusions on how we read the reaction.

He looks way more enthusiastic in this interview. Maybe it’s only a facade.

But we know that Murray-Boyles did complement the raptors during the combine. He also did an interviews. I think he even did a work out in Toronto and probably even got a dinner.

It would be a surprise if he was really that disappointed of going 9 unless he had a promise to go to the suns at 10.

Otherwise I think his initial reaction is more emotions than anything else

Let’s go CMB !

If both Barnes and Boyles can learn to shoot at a decent precentage oh man they gonna be a scary duo on the floor.

I like the fact that he's an ISO scorer with impeccable footwork for his size. He's known as a defender so that means he's an NBAer for sure. Pre-draft I wasn't fixated but here we are

Theses are 19/20 year old kids with a ton of cameras in their face that just realized their life long dream and losers are sitting behind their keyboards over analyzing how they react to it

CMB will help us win games.

I really like.the new young gunz trio of CMB, Walter & Shead.

Watched some offensive highlights… all of his points are attacking the basket… at 6’6.5 with average athleticism and no jumpshot we’re expecting him to get his game off in the nba? He’s like Rondae Hollis Jefferson.

His defense better be damn **** good… is he a lockdown 1 on 1 guy? Or is he just supposed to be another team defender like Scottie Barnes, who’s measurables and athleticism looked even better than cmbs?

Idk man, maybe he’ll pan out, I just don’t understand the direction here.

I also get the Rondae Hollis Jefferson comparison. That was my first thought seeing his highlights. Maybe even some Julius Randle though.

CMB is a stud player; just worry about the fit and his shooting but the kid has skills and good ball iq.

Apparently "BPA" all of a sudden means BPA + fit + need.
