"Offensively, I think that Scottie is more advanced with his ball handling and attacking with face-ups, but CMB is doing a great job in the roll and playing in the pocket pass and being a lob threat, playing in the dunker. Adding that face-up game to him is going to help Scottie with his spacing as well."
"The first time I gave Murray-Boyles the ball in a pick-and-roll, the rookie had no idea what to do and turned the ball over. He will have to get a lot more comfortable with that."
Collin Murray-Boyles has proven to be a vital asset for the Raptors, transitioning well to the NBA despite a thumb injury. His performance in the playoffs outshined Jakob Poeltl. Alongside Scottie Barnes, they form a versatile defensive duo, though their offensive development is a concern due to limited 3-point shooting. Coach Darko Rajaković emphasizes strengthening Murray-Boyles and enhancing his face-up game. This improvement is expected to elevate their performance, particularly in pick-and-roll situations, where Murray-Boyles needs to gain more confidence.
