[Highlight] Colin Murray-Boyles rises up for the thunderous put-back slam.
Is he a tweener that actually tweens?
Yeah so far he can play up in size and at least on defense he can play down in size too
Yeah he’s showing some young Draymond traits. Can move on D with Spida and can box out Allen.
He just needs to work on his 3’s but we’re talking about a rookie here so I’m not too fussed he’s not there yet.
It will be interesting to see what he’s capable of in a couple of years
Hes not a real 5, however can play the 5 if needed.
Like Draymond.
Lol I get it. Thunderous slam, because the Raptors have the same logo as us!

Esfandiar Baraheni over at Raptors Republic did a great video highlighting some of the plays from yesterday’s game. He does them all the time and is one of the better content creators for the Raptors or basketball in general that I follow. This play is one of the ones that was referenced in the video and Es noted how CMB saw that the man guarding him (Allen) shifted over to double Ingram on the shot and quickly realized that meant he would have great rebounding position and nobody boxing him out. It seems like basic stuff, but even NBA players get that kind of thing wrong more than you would think.
CMB is very strong and quick, but his court mapping and basketball IQ is already elite as a rookie. It helps him on both ends. That and his motor/work ethic are the main reasons why I believe he’s one of those guys who’s going to hit his absolute ceiling as a player, whatever that is.
Here’s a link to the video if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNzWsOqI6qI
He’s built like Ron Artest, so fucking strong.
