Toronto Raptors rookie seen training alongside NBA stars
Toronto Raptors rookie Collin Murray-Boyles is showing off his skills among NBA stars.
While Murray-Boyles got introduced to the Raptors fanbase with an NSFW reaction on draft night, he’s certainly making his mark in the month and a bit since.
In a clip dropping this week of Murray-Boyles taking the court in a summer run by trainer Olin Simplis, Boyles is seen showing off his skills against the other players.

Another video listed Klay Thompson, Evan Mobley, Carter Bryant, Tari Eason, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Kessler Edwards as his fellow competitors during part of the run.

Given that Thompson is a four-time NBA champion and Mobley is the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, there are certainly worse workout partners to find ahead of your first season in the pros.
Murray-Boyles also averaged 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, two assists, 1.8 steals, and one block in an average of 23.6 minutes per game in four Summer League contests this year.
The coming months will be huge for figuring out where exactly he fits into the Raptors’ rotation.
In his two seasons as Raptors head coach, Darko Rajakovic has shown a willingness to give big minutes to younger players, with Toronto using four rookies as rotation regulars last season.
But Rajakovic has also shared his desire to be competitive as a playoff contender this season, which might limit the opportunities for Murray-Boyles to play a heavy role in his first year in the league.
What’s up next for the Raptors?
After reconvening in Toronto for media day on Sept. 29, Murray-Boyles and his new teammates are heading to Alberta for a nearly week-long training camp to be held at the University of Calgary, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3.
Following training camp, theyāll head west to Vancouver forĀ a preseason game against the Denver Nuggets, their first of six exhibition contests.
