Darko Rajakovic has no plans to put Collin Murray-Boyles in a box in year 2

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic plans to expand sophomore Collin Murray-Boyles' role rather than limiting him to backup center. Speaking at practice, Rajakovic explained that Murray-Boyles has improved significantly and must share the court with starting center Jakob Poeltl during the 2026-27 NBA season.

Raptors Rapture writer Chris Lambert supports the decision, arguing that pairing Murray-Boyles with Poeltl maximizes defensive versatility while reducing physical wear. Lambert believes giving Murray-Boyles extra minutes at forward will enhance Toronto's frontcourt and accelerate the young player's offensive development.
