NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Pendarvis “Penny” Williams, fresh off a four-year career at Norfolk State University, signed a free agent deal with the Houston Rockets on Monday.
The 2012-2013 MEAC Player of the Year finished his days as a Spartan with 1,646 points, and is just one of two players in NSU history to finish with over 1,600 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists, 100 steals and 50 blocks.
He’ll now try and follow in the footsteps of former teammate Kyle O’Quinn, who also earned MEAC Player of the Year honors, who also signed a free agent contract out of college, and who’s now heading into his third season on the roster with the Orlando Magic.
