Murray-Boyles spent two years at the University of South Carolina and experienced impressive growth between his freshman and sophomore seasons. He averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in his second year with the program while starting in each of his 32 appearances. Murray-Boyles is an interesting prospect who's yet to embrace what his best fit might be at the NBA level, though he has shown the ability to play both frontcourt positions at the college level. He doesn't have the shooting touch to be a perimeter threat as a small forward, but he compensates for that with above-average strength and an elite defensive feel for the game. On the same note, he might be a bit undersized to play as a power forward, but his instincts more than make up for his apparent lack of size, although he might still grow an inch or two as he fills out his frame. He's a smart passer who can thrive in pick-and-roll situations, and he also delivers value on defense due to a high floor and elite ceiling. It's not surprising the Raptors drafted Murray-Boyles No. 9 overall, given their history of drafting physical two-way wing players with developing shots. There should be solid reserve minutes available for the rookie since Toronto's frontcourt depth is weak, but he doesn't project as a great fantasy asset in Year 1. When on the court, he'll almost always be surrounded by multiple players who are more talented offensively. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Murray-Boyles attended A.C. Flora High School in South Carolina as a high-schooler before transferring to Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah, for his senior year. He averaged 15.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a senior, numbers that made him a consensus four-star recruit and a Top-100 prospect before enrolling at South Carolina. He spent two years at the University of South Carolina and experienced impressive growth between his freshman and sophomore seasons. He averaged 10.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in 28 appearances (19 starts) as a freshman, but he elevated his game to another level in his sophomore year. Murray-Boyles averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in his second year with the program while starting in each of his 32 appearances. Murray-Boyles is an interesting prospect who's yet to embrace what his best fit might be at the NBA level, though he has shown the ability to play both frontcourt positions at the college level. He doesn't have the shooting touch to be a perimeter threat as a small forward, but he compensates for that with above-average strength and an elite defensive feel for the game. On the same note, he might be a bit undersized to play as a power forward, but his instincts more than make up for his apparent lack of size, although he might still grow an inch or two as he fills out his frame. He's a smart passer who can thrive in pick-and-roll situations, and he also delivers value on defense due to a high floor and elite ceiling. Projecting the kind of role Murray-Boyles will have at the NBA level will be ultimately determined by the position he plays, but all signs point to him playing more as an undersized interior presence rather than a physical perimeter player. One realistic comparison could be Grant Williams, who does a good job competing in the frontcourt and even playing at center if needed based on his physicality and strength despite being notoriously undersized for the position.
Sitting out Wednesday

January 21, 2026
Murray-Boyles (thumb) will not play Wednesday against the Kings.
ANALYSIS The rookie will miss his second game in a row Wednesday. He was carrying a questionable tag prior to Tuesday's game, so fantasy managers can assume that he will be day-to-day moving forward. Sandro Mamukelashvili could see another extended workload, especially with Jakob Poeltl (back) out indefinitely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out among peers
FToronto Raptors
October 11, 2025
Murray-Boyles has been one of the standout performers for the Raptors in the preseason, according to Eric Koreen of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS According to Koreen, Murray-Boyles has displayed an intriguing blend of defensive versatility and court vision, which should make him a valuable option off the bench. He's been willing to shoot open threes as well, and even though his lack of shooting ability was an issue in college, Murray-Boyles hasn't been afraid to let it fly in preseason. According to Michael Grange of Sportsnet, Murray-Boyles is expected to crack Toronto's rotation for Opening Night.
