Collin Murray-Boyles first word after getting drafted, caught on cameras by ESPN, was the F-bomb.

That led fans to quickly wonder whether he was upset at being drafted by the Toronto Raptors.

But the first-rounder from South Carolina clarified things later on Wednesday night when speaking with local reporters.

"Just disbelief. Toronto is the first team that I worked out for," Murray-Boyles said. "What I said was not a bad thing. Just very thankful. That was a surreal moment. This organization has a good history."

It's cool to see dreams come true for these NBA Draft prospects.

They must imagine exactly what the night is going to be like, and then it's still a lot of emotion to actually hear your name called.

Murray-Boyles shook his head, and it must've been almost in disbelief. 

The Raptors got a versatile big buy who has some guard skills in a larger package.

And it turns out, he is in fact happy to be there.
