I think shooting is more seeing whats comfortable alongside technique. Rather than forcing something uncomfortable and technique

This shot is a two motion shot which isn’t usually good for 1on1 close on. For wide shots this is ok but when your covered or performing a fade-away, and step back, you should raise the ball to around your eyebrow the same time you go into your jumper. Pulling up and moving with the ball is good for man on man times releasing at the highest peak of your jump, or releasing right before that. If you are not as physically active u should do what he does but bring the ball up and your legs with a two hand push but the right hand should be used more.

Your middle finger or index finger should be pointing down the most

At a young age the ball should be closer and closer to your chest. From like 4-7 I'd shoot this way but at my chest, from like 8-10 i'd start putting it near my chin, and now i put it just a bit above my mouth so the ball is in front of me, but I can still see the hoop as a target. I once had 7 threes in one game at like 9
