Happy Humpday BamaCentral and welcome to the Wednesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".

Today's program jumps around several basketball topics with Alabama flavor, starting first with the Tide's favorite son, Brandon Miller.

The number two overall draft pick made his Summer League debut on Monday night and he got off to a bit of a challenging start. Miller only managed five points, three rebounds, one block and six personal fouls through his first 24 minutes of action on Monday night, setting social media ablaze.

The phenom finished with 18 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block, one steal with six turnovers and seven fouls. So what's that mean for Miller and what kind of career he is destined for? Nothing.

Gaither broke down the circumstances around the game and what will be different once Miller plays in a live NBA game. Miller's Summer League continues tonight at 5 p.m. against the Golden State Warriors.

The Crimson Tide basketball program got good news from Mohamed Wague as he announced on Wednesday his decision to transfer to Tuscaloosa. Which recent Alabama basketball player does Wague remind us of? Gaither also discusses how Nate Oats rebuilt the front-court in a matter of six weeks.

Alabama baseball coaching legend Jim Wells was honored Wednesday by the American Baseball Coaches Association as one of its newest Hall of Fame members. We spent some time discussing Wells's impact on the program as Alabama's leader in all-time wins received a much overdue honor.

The program concluded with several ancillary topics like a potential Jahvon Quinerly destination, Derrick Henry working out with a recruit and the best defensive end in the Nick Saban-era.

Thursday we will be joined by former Alabama tight end Giles Amos (2016-19) and we plan to break down the Crimson Tide tight ends on the 2023 roster.
