Jazz guard Kyle Korver will join Ronnie Brewer and Paul Millsap among 25 players set to take part in a USA Basketball mini-camp next month in Las Vegas.

Oklahoma City joined the Jazz in having three players selected with Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook. The NBA's past three rookies of the year - - Roy, Durant and Rose - - will take part in the mini-camp.
The Lakers' Trevor Ariza, Charlotte's D.J. Augustin, Boston's Glen Davis, Memphis' Rudy Gay, Indiana's Danny Granger, New Jersey's Devin Harris and Brook Lopez, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young, New York's David Lee, Minnesota's Kevin Love and Atlanta's 'Josh Smith round out the roster of invited players.
Korver, Millsap and Brewer each are key players in the Jazz's off-season. Korver has until Tuesday to decide about opting out of his contract and becoming a free agent. Millsap will be a restricted free agent and Brewer is eligible for a contract extension.
