The NBA Draft is always a spotlight moment for young basketball stars—but every now and then, someone unexpected steals that spotlight.
This year, that moment came at the Toronto Raptors’ table, where a certain glamorous guest caught everyone’s attention.
Collin Murray-Boyles Goes Ninth Overall to the Raptors
With the ninth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors picked up South Carolina forward Collin Murray-Boyles—a versatile, high-energy player who impressed scouts with his all-around game.
As cameras captured the emotional moment at his draft table, Murray-Boyles stood to hug his family—and that’s when viewers noticed someone else turning heads right beside him.
Meet Chloe Kitts, the Other Star at the Table
The real buzz online wasn’t just about Murray-Boyles’ new NBA future—it was about his girlfriend, Chloe Kitts, who joined him at the table looking every bit like a star in her own right.
Kitts isn’t new to the spotlight. She’s a rising social media influencer with 250,000 followers on Instagram, easily overshadowing Murray-Boyles’ own follower count of around 24,000.
Chloe Brings Championship Experience to the Table
But it’s not just about looks or followers—Kitts is a baller, too.
She was a major piece of South Carolina’s 2024 national championship team, putting up an impressive 11-point, 10-rebound double-double in just 17 minutes during their win over Caitlin Clark’s Iowa squad.
That win gave her a championship ring and national recognition of her own—before her boyfriend even declared for the NBA.
A Tough Loss in 2025, but Kitts Still Shines
This past season, the South Carolina women’s team made it all the way back to the national title game—but ran into a dominant UConn team led by Paige Bueckers.
The Gamecocks lost 82–59, and Kitts, though she played more minutes, had a quieter night with 9 points and 6 assists.
Still, she’s got another year to make her mark before becoming eligible for the WNBA Draft, and with her championship pedigree, she’ll likely draw plenty of attention.
Collin’s College Resume Deserves Its Own Applause
Let’s not forget the man of the hour—Collin Murray-Boyles.
The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his final season at South Carolina.
He earned Second-Team All-SEC honors in just his sophomore year and had already been named to the SEC All-Freshman Team the year before.
His consistent improvement and versatility made him a solid top-10 pick.
More Than Just a Basketball Couple
What’s clear is that both Collin and Chloe are stars in their own right—and together, they might just be basketball’s next power couple.
With one heading into the NBA and the other eyeing the WNBA next year, it’s not just a draft night moment—it’s the beginning of something bigger.
