The bigger defenders did better against the physical international pick and roll plays.
That said, Chris Paul has had a sensational season; with his great quickness, seems like he can go wherever he wants on the court and deliver the ball perfectly. He can certainly score and run the offense, but will he be the type of defender we need in the Olympics?
