You nailed it by putting that basketball texture in the back. All other changes are very strong as well.

When I create a sports poster the main focus is on the athlete's photo... THAT is what you are selling. The graphics should be the icing on the cake. These designs seem to be more icing and less cake to me.

These designs seem to be more icing and less cake to me. The last 2 examples posted by KR4SC are the best so far and the BB texture is really nice but I would like to see the main image of Ryan be much larger and take a more predominate space in the main part of the poster. Let the gingerbread graphics compliment the photo, not overpower it. I AM happy to see that you are not trying to squish 30 mosaic action shots into the BG though. That just clutters up a poster up IMO. This is a Great start! Just switch your focus to the player and concentrate on the great main photo that you have. Let the graphics fill in the cracks. Just my humble opinion Isn't that simply a matter of taste? Undoubtedly the graphic artists in the crowd will say awesome etc. What it really boils down to is it what the customer wants and are they completely satisfied.
