off court behavior reason Heytvelt excluded

I have a theory as to why Josh Heytvelt wasn't drafted in the NBA draft on Thursday night. Although he is a good player and a big man with some decent offensive skills, in the back of the GM's minds, his arrest in February of 2007, gave them pause and wondered if he was worth the risk. If he had the image and persona of Tyler Hansborough, the All-American guy from North Carolina who was taken by the Pacers, then he would have got drafted in the second round.
