Pendarvis Williams (born November 13, 1991) is an American basketball player. He recently completed his college career at Norfolk State University, where in the 2012–13 season he was named an honorable mention All-American.
Williams, a 6'6" guard from Philadelphia, committed to Norfolk State where as a sophomore he scored 20 points in the Spartans' 86–84 upset of number 2 seed Missouri in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.[1] As a junior, after the loss of All-American Kyle O'Quinn, the Spartans were not expected to contend for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship. But Williams stepped up his performance, averaging 14.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He led the Spartans to a 16–0 record and won conference Player of the Year honors.[2] At the end of the season, Williams was named HBCU Player of the Year[3] and an AP honorable mention All-American.
Following the close of his college career, Williams signed with Fortitudo Agrigento in Italy's second division.[4] On July 13, 2015 he signed for Obiettivo Lavoro Bologna from the Serie A.[5]
