- Latavious Bernard Williams (born March 29, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for Hapoel Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League. After graduating from high school, he played with the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League before being drafted by the Miami Heat with the 48th pick in the 2010 NBA draft.
- After the draft, his draft rights were immediately traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA affiliate of the 66ers.
- However, the Thunder did not sign him to a contract and Williams returned to the D-League with the 66ers.
- On February 19, 2015, his draft rights were traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.Williams was the first player ever to skip college basketball and play a year in the D-League before getting drafted in the NBA.
- He was also the first player ever to enter into the D-League directly from high school.
- Williams was, however, the second player to be drafted while playing for a D-League team, as Mike Taylor ended up being drafted two years earlier in 2008.
- As of September 2015, Williams has never played a competitive game (regular season or playoff) in the NBA, being one of two D-League draftees to hold such claim (the other being Chukwudiebere Maduabum).
