Declares for NBA Draft Murray-Boyles has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Rothstein's announcement indicates that Murray-Boyles will forgo his two years of collegiate eligibility remaining. As a freshman, he logged 10.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. There is at least a chance Murray-Boyles could have been selected in the 2024 NBA Draft, but he opted to stay another year with South Carolina for an improved chance. CMB proved to be the 2024-25 Gamecocks' lone bright spot with All-SEC Second Team honors earned after he averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks. Even though the sophomore can improve his shooting, he is slated to be a top-10 pick in this year's draft.

Drops 24 in loss to Dawgs Murray-Boyles posted 24 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 13-18 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 73-64 loss to Georgia.
Impact Murray-Boyles was brilliant once again, but once again the Gamecocks lost an SEC game to drop their record in conference play to 2-15. Still, the forward was an electric scorer and has now scored at least 22 points in each of his last four games. He lived at the charity stripe, with a whopping 18 free-throw attempts helping cushion his point total. South Carolina's season is almost over, but expect the star forward to go out with a bang.

Nearly perfect despite big loss Murray-Boyles chipped in 27 points (10-11 FG, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 101-71 loss to Missouri.
Impact Murray-Boyles' 27 points were easily a team best in the loss to Missouri, but it wasn't enough to prevent a massive 30-point beatdown by the Tigers. South Carolina has been a hapless SEC team this season, but the Gamecock forward continues to play valiantly every night. On Tuesday, even a scoring 91 percent shooting from the field couldn't prevent another loss for South Carolina.

Double-double not enough Murray-Boyles closed Tuesday's 81-67 loss to LSU with 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Impact The Gamecocks took yet another loss in SEC play, their 13th-straight defeat, but it wasn't for a lack of effort by Murray-Boyles. He notched his seventh double-double of the season. The sophomore has taken a big step this year, and remains a dynamic option on South Carolina's front court despite the dismal season in Columbia.

Impact Murray-Boyles, who was listed as questionable on this weekend's SEC availability report for undisclosed reasons, will appear in Saturday's game against the Bulldogs.

Picking scoring back up Murray-Boyles racked up 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 66-63 loss to Vanderbilt.
Impact Despite an incredibly productive start to the season, Murray-Boyles hit a bit of an offensive slump, starting the calendar year 3-for-15 from the field and recording single-digit scoring in back-to-back games for the first time all season. He snapped out of it with a stellar 25-point performance in a loss to Auburn last Saturday and followed it up with a relatively efficient shooting effort Wednesday. He remains one of the top fantasy forwards in a tough SEC conference.

Leading scorer in upset loss Murray-Boyles accumulated 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 74-71 loss to North Florida.
Impact It was a brutal opener for the Gamecocks. And while Murray-Boyles led the team with 17 points, it took 16 shots to get there. He'll remain one of, if not South Carolina's top option, but he needs to improve his efficiency as they try to bounce back from a tough upset in Columbia.
