Raptors need Collin Murray-Boyles’ 3-point flash to become a weapon defenses respect

Writer Amos Caesar Mina argues that the Toronto Raptors need Collin Murray-Boyles to turn his developing three-point shot into a consistent perimeter threat. The piece follows a preseason win over the New York Knicks on October 13, where Murray-Boyles recorded 19 points and nine rebounds, shooting 7-for-7 from the field, including making both of his three-point attempts off the dribble.

Mina notes that Murray-Boyles entered the league as a non-shooter and averaged just 0.9 three-point attempts per game last year while converting at 34.0 percent. The writer suggests Toronto urgently needs frontcourt spacing following Sandro Mamukelashvili's free-agent departure to the Los Angeles Lakers, making Murray-Boyles' perimeter progression vital alongside non-shooting centers Jakob Poeltl and Kyle Anderson.
