NBA '06 Fantasy Projections

As any hardcore fantasy owner will tell you, the season never stops, so even though it's a little early, the team over at Sony has run simulations of this year’s NBA
season on NBA ’06.  After running the season, they compiled the statistics from the NBA ‘06 season to forecast a selection of this year’s fantasy sleepers and busts. The game is due to hit stores this fall, and will be available for the PlayStation 2 and the PSP, in case you were wondering.
