The Timberwolves have completed their training camp roster by signing former Baylor guard Brady Heslip and 7-1 center Kyrylo Fesenko, who played last year in the D-league. Both players were on the Wolves' summer league roster.

Heslip and Fesenko are among a group of players who have been working out this week at Target Center. Veterans Corey Brewer, Kevin Martin and Robbie Hummel have been joined by rookies Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine and Glenn Robinson III.

Wiggins and LaVine both said they have made the move to Minnesota along with their families.

"I can't cook,'' Wiggins said. "So whenever I need food, I can go to their house.''

On the business side, Wolves General Manager Milt Newton said he's "in constant contact'' with guard Ricky Rubio's agent.

If Rubio doesn't sign a contract extension by the end of October, he will become a restricted free agent next summer and the Wolves would have the right to match any offer he receives. Newton said the sides differ on salary numbers at the present time.

""Until that right number comes up, I guess we'll continue to talk,'' he said.

Newton said signing Rubio now would be a show of "good will and trust'' in the point guard.

"I feel optimistic,'' Newton said. "Knowing Ricky the person, he wants to be here.''
