Are you forgetting Vince Shanks, I don't think the Wheeler kid is strong enough to match him. Hopefully he will improve for your team this year, but last he proved to be very inconsistent. I'm sure alot to do with his age and lack of varsity play, but Shanks is a seasoned good player. It will be great if we see some maturity from him this year, physically and emotionally and maybe he will be one of the best. On a side note---yes Osborne may be lacking in size, but you under estimate him---he has the skills and basketball knowledge to be a very good post player.
Bystander,
You are right. Shanks is a beast with incredible athleticism and Wheeler seemed to disppear in the few games that I seen. However, Shanks roams around outside an aweful lot. I think Wheeler's quickness will bother him next season, but time will tell. Still, nobody could handle Shanks alone and that is why I think Fitch had him doubled so much last year.
