Yes.

Colangelo and Coach K have stated they want 3 PGs. Deron and Paul will now battle for the backup spot.

Interesting enough it sounds like they think Deron is the future at PG for team USA
The higher-ups in USA Basketball see him as a long-term asset who can fill Kidd's role as team leader at the 2010 World Championship in Turkey and the 2012 London Olympics. He's a better shooter than Kidd and he's stronger than Paul -- the latter factor being something to focus on when the Americans have to defend teams with tall point guards.

Don't forget: Greece's big backcourt overwhelmed the Americans in Japan.
