2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive, announced today that Marvin Williams and Roy Williams (no relation) will appear on the cover of College Hoops 2K6. Marvin Williams was a forward for the University of North Carolina (UNC) and was the No. 2 draft pick in the 2005 NBA draft. Roy Williams coached Marvin during UNC's championship run. The two were chosen to highlight College Hoops 2K6's gameplay features "Court Awareness" and "Coach's Clipboard," respectively.

"I'm a huge fan of video games, especially the 2K series," said Marvin Williams. "With its ability to combine teamwork, skill and entertainment, 2K has always been on the top of my list. I'm very excited to be the face of College Hoops 2K6. From what I've seen so far, this game is going to be amazing."

"College basketball is all about team spirit and pageantry," stated Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "Part of that team spirit lies in the team itself-- the great relationship that exists between a coach and his player. College Hoops 2K6 pays tribute to this by not only emphasizing the importance of this relationship in the game, with the Coach's Clipboard feature, but by showcasing it on the cover of the game as well. It is an honor to have the top coach/player team, Marvin Williams and Roy Williams on the cover of College Hoops 2K6."

College Hoops 2K6 will release Fall 2005 for PS2 and Xbox and Winter 2005 for Xbox 360.
