Meister der Farbe » ss has won 11 of 12 games against

Jerami Grant has been with the Oklahoma City Thunder since Nov. 1. Since then, he has played in three games but only took part in one practice, which came Sunday afternoon.Despite his lack of knowledge and experience with the Thunder, Grant has been a diamond in the rough for the team, averaging 6.4 points and three rebounds coming off the bench.In Grants first home game on Friday night against Minnesota, he blocked four shots and came up with a monster dunk over Cole Aldrich that got the fans out of their seats.As Grant gets more accustomed to his new team, Thunder coach Billy Donovan sees the versatile forward becoming a bigger factor as the season goes on.Its been a little bit of a challenge offensively, just being honest, Donovan said. Its not his fault or anybodys fault. We just havent had any practice time yet. Because of his versatility, the hard part for him has been that the last two games he has played two different positions -- the small forward spot and the power forward spot.Grant will most likely see time at power forward on Monday night when the Thunder (5-1) play host to Miami (2-3) at Chesapeake Energy Arena.The Heats Hassan Whiteside has been on a tear, despite his team not playing particularly well.The Heat are coming off a 96-87 loss to Toronto on Friday night. Whiteside led Miami with 21 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the field. He also grabbed 16 rebounds.He was tremendous, really impact. Hes playing hard and hes making better reads on both ends of the court, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. He just has to keep building and hes doing that in big minutes, too.But it will be the play of another Miami player that should catch the attention of Oklahoma City fans. Guard Dion Waiters will be playing his first game in Oklahoma City since leaving the team in the offseason when the two sides were unable to come together on a new contract.However, Waiters told The Palm Beach Post that if Kevin Durant had decided to stay with the Thunder, he wouldnt be wearing a different uniform right now.At the end of the day, if they would have kept it together, Im pretty sure I would have went back one more year to see what we could do because we were 24 minutes away from the finals, Waiters told the Post. Once things went the way it went I kind of knew.Waiters went on to sign a two-year, $5.9 million deal with the Heat. He is averaging 11 points on 35 percent shooting from the field through five games as he replaces former Miami legend Dwyane Wade.Waiters former teammates know what he will bring to the game for Miami.When he got here, the ball would stop when he would get in, Oklahoma Citys Nick Collison said. By the end, he was really good at shooting open shots, driving and moving it. Defensively, I was really impressed with him. He was probably one of our best two-way wing players.Arizona Diamondbacks Gear .

Fake Diamondbacks Jerseys . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Arizona Diamondbacks Pro Shop . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats.Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly made it a point during preseason camp to mention that the teams young receivers were poised to make a big impact this season.He wasted no time getting them involved in the offense.Two freshmen -- Van Jefferson and D.K. Metcalf -- caught touchdown passes in the Rebels season-opening 45-34 loss to Florida State. Another freshman, A.J. Brown, caught two passes for 48 yards.No. 19 Ole Miss (0-1) hopes to see more of the same when it hosts FCS-level Wofford (1-0) on Saturday in a non-conference game.Kelly said he was impressed by the poise the freshmen showed against Florida State.First live action, hopefully they got in a little groove and got a good feeling about the game, Kelly said. They understand the plays and the speed of the game already. If they keep working, theyre going to be all right.Jefferson, Metcalf and Brown bring depth to an already loaded group of Ole Miss receivers. Veterans Damoreea Stringfellow and Quincy Adeboyejo are listed as the starters, while senior tight end Evan Engram caught a career-high nine passes for 121 yards and a touchdown against Florida State.Kelly threw for 313 yards and four touchdowns against the Seminoles, but the senior also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. If he can cut down on the errors, the Rebels appear poised to have plenty of success in the passing game.I definitely could have made some better decisions (against Florida State), Kelly said.---Here are a few things to watch when Ole Miss hosts Wofford:THE RENOVATED VAUGHT: Ole Miss will be playing its first game in renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Among the major changes: The north end zone was bowled in and the seating capacity has been increased to 64,038. TTheres also a new natural grass playing surface, three LED video displays, new lights and a new sound system.dddddddddddd.PATTERSONS DEBUT? If Ole Miss jumps out to a big lead against Wofford, expect freshman quarterback Shea Patterson to receive his first career action. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Patterson was widely viewed as one of the nations top quarterback recruits in 2015 and is the favorite to earn the job once Kelly -- a senior -- finishes his eligibility.YOUNG CORNERS MUST STEP UP: Ole Miss lost arguably its best cornerback -- junior Kendarius Webster -- to a season-ending knee injury against Florida State. Seniors Carlos Davis and Tony Bridges are still around, but after that the Rebels will be very young. Redshirt freshman Jalen Julius and true freshman Jaylon Jones are probably the next two options.FACING THE FCS: Ole Miss has won 11 of 12 games against teams from the Football Championship Subdivision since 2005, with the lone loss against Jacksonville State under former coach Houston Nutt in 2010. Freeze has a 4-0 mark against FCS teams. Wofford has a 1-18 record against teams in the FBS, with the lone win coming against Louisiana-Monroe in 2000.RUN WOFFORD RUN: Wofford runs the triple-option offense, which is heavy on running plays. The Terriers ran for 346 yards and threw for 42 yards in their 21-7 season-opening win over Tennessee Tech. Wofford had a 5-6 record last season, but was still fourth in the FCS with 300 yards rushing per game.---Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org .
