Hoops Klyce provides projections as well as email updates customized for your league settings, for a fee. In most cases we don't recommend for-fee fantasy services, but this one is an exception. Clearly, this guy puts in the time on his projections, and provides a service that is worth spending something for. In addition to carrying our contest, Hoops Klyce won the Yahoo! Friends and Family league in 2006/2007. From what we've seen, Hoops Klyce and the second place finisher are really the class of the internet when it comes to fantasy basketball.

Hoops Klyce had a number of better-than-the-pack predictions, including a spot-on Kevin Garnett prediction (behind Marion, Dirk and Kobe), a nice projection of Zydrunas Ilgauskas' decline, and a nearly perfect projection for Manu Ginobili's fantastic season.
