10 deep with Stewart and Tripple plus room for 1-2 more
I agree with this assessment, although I think it likely that you can count Trey Stewart as solid depth and also Townsend Tripple.

Trey Stewart has a chance to make a contribution here during his senior season. I am, perhaps, inclined to think a bit less harshly about Stewart's potential contribution. He had ups and downs this past season, but - 1) his overall shooting percentage from range was quite improved (it had been so low); 2) he actually showed the ability to hit mid-range shots on occasion, just isn't a primary shooting option most plays; 3) defense was overall pretty solid; and 4) ball handling and ball distribution was fairly solid. I don't think he's a 20+ minute player, but I am fine with 10-12 minutes in a contributing role. It will be interesting to see if there is much progress in his game with Coach KY during a short time window.

Townsend Tripple is coming into his junior season as a preferred walk-on. His body has filled out a bit from his freshman pre-mission year. He actually gave us a lot of solid minutes this past season prior to injury. He uses his size well in the post, plays solid defense, rebounds well. Don't need a lot more from him. He can shoot pretty well from range too, just isn't asked to do that too much. If he can get healthy, I think he's a nice depth piece as needed.
