Will you be shooting at the rim only, or up and and down the court also?

Some of both. I would like to have one body with the longer lens for up and down the court and another with a shorter lens for inside of the 3-point line, where most of the action takes place....

It so, you could consider the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 for at the rim. Set it to manual focus at 5 meters (16 feet). At 16mm (26 FF equivalent) and f/2.8, everything between 2.5 meters (8 feet) and infinity will be In focus.
