The NBA Draft gives basketball prospects a stage to show off their style, but each year, there’s almost always a player upstaged by a family member or a partner.
2025 was no different, as one top-10 selection had his girlfriend steal the show with her appearance at his table.
With the ninth-overall selection in the draft this year, the Toronto Raptors selected South Carolina forward Collin Murray-Boyles.
As the cameras panned back to his table, he stood up to hug his family and his glamorous girlfriend.
Turns out, Murray-Boyles wasn’t the only South Carolina basketball star at his table – as his girlfriend Chloe Kitts joined them for the evening.
Kitts is a social media star with 250,000 followers on Instagram, while Murray-Boyles has only 24,000.

Not only does she have more followers than him, Kitts also experienced more success in college.
Kitts was a key contributor on South Carolina’s 2024 national championship winning team – putting up an 11 point, 10 rebound double-double in just 17 minutes of game time in their victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa.
This season, the Gamecocks went to the women’s national championship game again – with the hopes of winning back-to-back.
Unfortunately for them, they got decimated by Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies – falling 82-59.

Kitts played more minutes than the year prior, but struggled to put up similar results – scoring just nine points and six assists.
She has one final year remaining before she is eligible to enter the WNBA Draft.
As for her NBA-bound boyfriend, Murray-Boyles averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his final year of college.
The 6-foot-7 forward earned second-team All-SEC honors in his sophomore year and made the SEC All-Freshman Team in his first year of college.
