Raptors’ Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles Turning Heads in Summer League Debut
Toronto Raptors first-round pick Collin Murray-Boyles, a standout from South Carolina, is making an early impression in the NBA Summer League—and it’s exactly what fans hoped to see.
While the stat sheet doesn’t yet show a scoring explosion, Murray-Boyles has quietly been doing a little bit of everything—just as scouts predicted when the Raptors used a top-10 pick to grab him in this year’s draft.
In his Summer League debut against the Orlando Magic, the former Gamecock posted a well-rounded performance: 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 steals. He followed that with a solid outing versus the Denver Nuggets, putting up 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block. Across both games, he’s been remarkably efficient, shooting 60% from the field.
Though he hasn’t showcased deep-range shooting yet—still a known limitation in his offensive game—his ability to contribute across the board is a major plus. He’s proving to be the kind of forward who can score in double digits, crash the boards, and impact both ends of the floor.
It’s early, but Murray-Boyles is already showing signs of being the versatile, high-upside player Toronto hoped for.
“He’s filling the stat sheet without forcing anything,” one scout noted. “That’s a great sign for a rookie trying to carve out a role.”
If this trend continues, Collin Murray-Boyles could be one of the Summer League’s quiet breakout stories—and a key piece for the Raptors moving forward.
