These are really nice. Not much rust on you. While a bit noisy, your settings were about as good as you could get. Like the framing and focus on the faces. #4 and #6 really good.

The close in camera shots are great. You might think about running them through Topaz Denoise Ai to help with the noise. Good stuff. What lens do you have? Check what the iso was too. Again nice work.

I shoot junior college sports, won California News Publishers Association First Place for sports action photo last year, second place this year and numerous other awards. In my opinion your photos are great! I like the fact you got faces, the ball and opposing players in most of the shots. Basketball is hard as it is a fast game and usually the lighting sucks in the gyms.

I was using a sigma 18-35 F1.8 and a sigma 50-100 1F1.8. I believe the iso was around 2500. Thank you for your suggestions.

Great series of photos! A couple photos with motion blur due to your low shutter speed, but overall great action and expressions.
