Montgomery, Alabama
Miller and fellow first-rounder Noah Clowney are gone from that 31-6 team, along with two other starters and key reserve Jahvon Quinerly. Coach Nate Oats replenished the roster with four transfers led by big man Grant Nelson and guard Aaron Estrada.
Miller and point guard Jaden Bradley — who transferred to Arizona — played much of the season under scrutiny over theirin January. Teammate Darius Miles and another man were charged with capital murder. Neither Miller nor Bradley were accused of a crime, but Miller especially couldn’t escape questions.
The SEC’s top scoring team had a disappointing finish, falling in the Sweet 16 to eventual Final Four team San Diego State.Alabama brought in one of the top portal classes, and pretty much had to, given all the departures. The group is led by a pair of 20-point scorers in sharp-shooting guard Aaron Estrada from Hofstra and 6-foot-11 forward Grant Nelson from North Dakota State. Guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. averaged 16.3 points at Cal State Fullerton last season.
Losing Clowney did make Alabama a more attractive landing spot for another versatile big man. Jarin Stevenson, a 6-foot-11 forward, was rated the 50th-best high school prospect, according to 247Sports. Oats says he does have a similar style of play to Clowney, who averaged 10.3 points and 7.8 rebounds.
