It was Collin Murray-Boyles’ big night in the NBA draft, but it got overshadowed by his reaction to getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors, and by his basketball girlfriend who had her own reaction to him going to Canada.

Murray-Boyles out of the South Carolina Gamecocks was a surprise pick to Toronto at No. 9 overall, and his initial F-bomb reaction went viral — the Raptors even produced a deleted version for the team’s social media.

Later on in the night, the 20-year-old Murray-Boyles said he was just in “disbelief” but that it was “not a bad thing.”

Cameras caught Collin Murray Boyles dropping an F-bomb when he was drafted. He clarifies: "Just disbelief. Toronto is the first team that I worked out for. What I said was not a bad thing. Just very thankful. That was a surreal moment. This organization has a good history"

His girlfriend Chloe Kitts, who is also a star South Carolina basketball player, also went viral in the night for her red-dress fit while there to support her man. She kept supporting him on social media afterward with her own reaction to the Toronto pick with the “oh heyyy 🥰🥰🥰.”

No matter what team selected, no doubt Murray-Boyles is grateful the opportunity and Kitts is proud of him. She’ll just have to travel a bit farther — and go through customs — to see him at home games.

Murray-Boyles is from South Carolina while Kitts is from Florida. They have been dating since 2023 but didn’t go IG official until December of 2024.

Murray-Boyles’ NBA beginning with Toronto started with a bit of a stir, but it’s clear Kitts has his back.
