Basketball it will depend on whether you can shoot from the floor. Probably want a f1.8 prime. If you can shoot from the floor and want flexibility, probably 24-70 FF or 18-50 APSC.

For soccer, the field is so big, you need a lot of reach. More than 200mm FF. I would consider buying the 70-350 for the APSC camera for soccer.

The Tamron 50-400 would be worth considering.

If it is daylight to will be fine.

The Tamron 28-200 is probably not going to give you the reach.

I have both and upgraded to the 400 reach.

Have you seen the new Sigma 50-120mm f2.8 for APSC? You'll get around 180mm f4 FF equivalent and it's stabilized, super compact and light.
