Joshua Rolin "Josh" Heytvelt (/ˈhaɪtfɛlt/; born June 26, 1986) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Hitachi SunRockers of the Japanese National Basketball League.
The 6-foot 11 inch (2.11 m) forward came to the Gonzaga Bulldogs in 2004 after a high school career in Clarkston, Washington that saw him named the state's Class 3A Player of the Year for three consecutive years. He sat out the 2004-05 season as a redshirt. Coach Mark Few and the Bulldogs counted on Heytvelt to be a major contributor in his freshman season of eligibility in 2005-06 as part of the supporting cast behind superstar Adam Morrison, but he missed most of the season due to a broken ankle suffered in the Maui Invitational.
In the 2006-07 season, he emerged as a potential star, becoming the team's second-leading scorer with 15.5 per game (behind Derek Raivio), top rebounder (7.7 per game), and leading shot-blocker (1.7 per game). The best game of his career came on February 26, 2009 against Santa Clara, when he scored 29 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. However, in what was effectively his freshman year as a player, there were several games in which he made only sporadic impact.
Following his senior season with Gonzaga in 2008-09, he declared for the 2009 NBA Draft, where he went undrafted. In 2009 Heytvelt played for the Washington Wizards in the NBA Summer League. For his first pro season, he went to Turkey to play for Oyak Renault.
