Thanks, Jules. Here it is, Nikon D7100, Nikon 85mm f1.8G. Shutter speed 1250, aperature 1.8, ISO 1250 or 1600. The last two photos were in a gym that was lit like a dungeon. Let me know what else might be helpful and relevant.
Hi again: I have a 7100 also. It's a good camera but the iso has some limits. First you don't need 1/1250 to stop the action. Try 1/800 at 2.8 which will lower your iso settings to about 1000. I shoot ac ac continuous. Either single point or group focus settings. Check your white balance. Sometimes auto wb will do, other gyms you might try cool florescent, etc. Always shoot tight filling your frame with the subject and like I said before no backs or butts. Practice this and don't rely on post processing. Cropping and sharpening a lot presents image degradation. Practice and more practice. Basketball is a tough sport because of the fast action but you will get it.
Good luck. This forum has some wonderful pro and amateur photographers to help you along the way.
