The 2nd shot has possibilities but the perspective would seem to work only for action up near the rim - a place where these cute kids are not likely to be seen too often.

I tried this type of shot during warm ups for a college game. I didn't like the results I took, so I gave it up. OTOH, I have seen some great shots captured by remotely triggered cameras located above the rim near the backboard or straight overhead from the ceiling.

Note that the gym lights have significant reflections on the floor. I was surprised by this in my shots too.
