From the 12 that beat Russia in last year's 3rd-place game, Wheatle is one of two survivors along with RJ Etyle-Rock, but he's backed up by a strong contingent rising through the age group levels.
Brian Amabilino-Perez, Kayne Henry-McCalla, along with Nelson Boachie-Yiadom, Caleb Fuller, Sesan Russell and Romario Spence helped Britain's U18 team gain promotion last summer.
Brian's brother, Adria is also included while there is also a place for Edinburgh's Sean Nealon-Lino, who represented Scotland at the recent Commonwealth Games.
There are places for Londoners Dan Akin, Carl Campbell and Jelani-Watson-Gayle. Two Bradford Dragons products Zion Tordoff and Eisley Swaine - son of former England international Jason Swaine - also make the cut as does former Oaklands Wolves guard Evan Walshe.
Britain face Lithuania, Montenegro and Turkey in Group A, with all four teams guaranteed to join a round of 16.
First up are the Turks on Saturday July 14th followed by Montenegro a day later and then Lithuania on July 16th.
Every competitive game for Great Britain's junior teams - both men and women - will be available live via British Basketball's Facebook and YouTube pages.
