Thatnks for the great advice Kevin.
I've been cropping some random shots at 6x2 and haven't been real happy with what I've been finding. I think they want to use action shots, and about the only thing that fits is a player with their arm(s) up, but those aren't exactly the best looking or most dramatic. Most dribbling shots wither don't nearly fill the frame or would need to cut off one side or the other.
I think they want to do more than just basketball players for the shots too, so that will be a challenge.
Here's their mock-up (not my photo in it!):
