A city I think could be interesting as a potential sleeper basketball city is Tampa IF the Rays move. USF is a fairly big school and program but never really makes it to that next level so you've got a local pipeline for developing talent yet a team that can easily be overtaken in terms of being the focus of basketball in that city. I think it would take some work like what Memphis has had to do or Sacramento but I think it's possible, especially with Miami not far away. Just move the Magic -and rename them- or give them an expansion team if the expansion is big enough.
St Louis is another interesting one. SLU is just flat out not big enough to own that city's basketball scene, and we've seen that they're producing very nice talent right now in that area so obviously there's a basketball culture there.
