While I understand the concern about shooting low ISO if possible, I have found that the overall need for at least some margin of error in shooting the K-3 requires f/4-6.3 for the best results. So, shooting ISO 3200 is pretty much a necessary evil. I'm not fond of shooting below about 85mm because it becomes difficult to isolate. My favorite lens for basketball is the lowly Takumar 70-210 - which turns out to be rather capable even when shot wide open (up to about 180mm anyways). The lens is impressively responsive on the K-3. In general, with the K-3 having a very strong screw drive motor, I think screw drive will be at least a bit quicker than any of the fast electronic drive zooms.

The photos in the album linked below start with one DA 50mm shot (at f/2.5), and the rest of the shots are taken with the 70-210 at the middle-to-longer lengths (but not all the way out to 210).
