I voted for "other." The way we are currently using KP is almost like a 7'3 Klay Thompson. 68% of his shots are either catch 'n shoot (48%) or pull-up's (20%). Another big with similar style is Brook Lopez.
KP has been horrendous in the post thus far, ranking in the 3rd percentile. It should get better as the season goes on but it's not necessary for him to succeed. He is going to take a beating anchoring the defense; limiting the damage on offense by letting him be less "physical" might not be a bad idea.
Plus, Luka already has the ball stopping plays covered so I don't think we need more of it. Carlisle has always emphasized ball movement and I think what we saw in CLE and the 1Q of POR is what this offense should be on most nights.
