Will Deron Williams or Chris Paul assume the majority of the minutes as Kidd's backup?
Chris Paul was tremendous this season.
But I think D-Will's size and shooting ability will give him the edge when it comes to the international game. Paul struggled in 2006. The international game is much more physical and Chris doesn't have a lot of size. Opposing guards were able to body him up.
Your thoughts?

There is no such thing like the "international game". You send the best players, add some good role players, give the best players most minutes, sport a traditional lineup, don't become arrogant and you win. Simple as that, there is no secret.
Kidd's experience is vastly overrated and should only matter if he was equally good to Paul and Williams. Like you said, he is not and those games against weak competition last year should not be a criteria for that. Chris Paul is a lot better than he was two years ago and there is really no reason to not start him or Deron Williams.
Which Team USA point guard will get the most minutes?
