Florida State's Chris Singleton is expected to cause problems for Miami when the two schools do battle on Wednesday.

Malcolm Grant was reviewing film from one of last season's losses to Florida State recently when he was reminded about the dangers of dribbling near Singleton.

"It was a play when Chris switched over onto me and I started messing around with the ball," Grant said.

"I tried to make a move, slip past him and he just stuck his arm out and took the ball away from me. To me, he’s got to be one of the best defenders in the country just because of that – his size, his length, his skills. There aren’t too many guys that can defend a [point guard] and go down and mix it up with a [power forward]."

Singleton, who led the ACC in steals and finished fifth in blocks last season while averaging 10.2 points and seven rebounds, has developed into a much more dangerous and polished weapon for the Seminoles since the Hurricanes last saw him.
