I disagree. The balls should never be moving perpendicular to one of those wheels, which is what an omni would help with. Drive just one wheel and the basketball will spin around the other wheel.
I think the problem would be that your traction is based on how much you're compressing ball, since there's no weight transfer from the robot. Plus compressing the ball is likely to make it pop out of where you're capturing it. I'd suggest moving the wheels up to get more weight transfer, but then you
would need omnis, and you'd run out of room for the balls unless you used bigger wheels...
