**College Basketball Star Chloe Kitts Steals Spotlight at NBA Draft**

**NEW YORK, NY – June 27, 2025** – Last night’s NBA Draft saw Collin Murray-Boyles selected by the Toronto Raptors as the No. 9 overall pick, but it was his girlfriend, South Carolina women’s basketball standout Chloe Kitts, who stole the show.

Murray-Boyles, coming off a stellar season averaging 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds, embraced Kitts immediately after his name was called by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. While some fans were already aware of the couple, Kitts’ presence instantly captivated the attention of a wider audience.

Kitts, an NCAA champion and SEC Tournament MVP for Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks, turned heads in a striking red dress. Social media exploded with praise for Kitts, with many fans expressing their admiration and excitement to learn more about the talented athlete.

While some speculated about Kitts’ feelings on Murray-Boyles joining the Raptors, she quickly dispelled any doubts with a supportive selfie posted online. Murray-Boyles himself spoke glowingly about Kitts at a press conference, emphasizing her understanding of the sacrifices involved in being a professional athlete. “She’s amazing for me,” he said. “She knows the sacrifices that come with being a bball player. She fully embraces it. I never take her for granted.”

Kitts, who averaged 10.2 points and 7.7 rebounds during the 2024-25 season, is expected to return to South Carolina for another year before likely pursuing a professional career in the WNBA. Her tenacity and consistency on the court have positioned her as a highly sought-after prospect.

For now, Chloe Kitts remains focused on dominating the college basketball scene, but last night, she proved she’s already a star on the rise, both on and off the court.
