How is Towns not raw? He's not good defensively and offensively he's not that good yet.
He's not raw because he's polished. He's one of the best rookies in the past 10-15 years and you're calling him raw.
I mean in the sense that KP and Myles (who are also 2 of the best rookie bigs we've seen in a while) are raw I'd say Towns is raw. He's a clear superstar that's not even playing at all star level yet. If they meant raw in the absolute sense none of the 3 are even remotely close to raw (especially not Porzingis who's already a very good defender in the NBA).

Wait, what?
By not that good yet I meant he's not good enough to lead a top 10 offense even if he had the supporting cast for it (he'd have to settle for being the 2nd best player). Towns is a guy with every skill needed to dominate already but he isn't dominating.
