The NBA announced today that Utah Jazz guards Trey Burke (U.S. Team) and Danté Exum (World Team) and center Rudy Gobert (World Team) have been selected to the 2014 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge. The three Jazz representatives represent the second-most of any team (Minnesota – 4). The league’s annual showcase of premier young talent will debut a format that pits 10 first- and second-year NBA players from the United States against 10 first- and second-year NBA players from around the world. The game, set for Friday, Feb. 13, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, will be televised live by TNT at 7 p.m. MT. Burke (6-1, 190, Michigan) is making his second appearance in the Rising Stars Challenge and will be playing for the U.S. Team. The ninth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Burke has appeared in 44 games (41 starts) this season, averaging 12.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 32.0 minutes. The 6-1 guard has scored in double figures in 30 contests, including 20-plus points on five occasions. He has also registered three double-doubles of 10-plus points and 10-plus assists. Burke was selected to last year’s Rising Stars Challenge in New Orleans. Exum (6-6, 190, Australia) will be on the World Team roster, joining his Jazz teammate Gobert. A 2014 first-round pick (fifth overall), Exum is currently averaging 5.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 19.6 minutes in 45 games (four starts).
