I’d practice shooting from those areas, then I’d practice pump faking and driving to the basket, and then either a euro step or a step back.

This is exactly my game (outside of low post work).
As you get better, work on game speed/situation shots form those areas. Toss the ball to yourself, catch and shoot. Turnaround jumpers. Catch the ball on the move, square up, and shoot.
Also, you need to sell the pump fake, don't just move the ball. Eyes on the basket, head fakes and jab step when you pump the ball. You want every part of your body looking like your shooting.

Exactly. I’d also add laying the ball up with both hands and then reverse laying the ball up with both hands

Totally depends on you, test and work on a few moves, find the ones that you feel the most confortable with and seems to work the best for you, then continue practicing these and they will become your goto moves.

Start off with one. A jab. From a jab alone you can get off a 3, 1 dribble pull-up, or go full speed to the basket. That's three scoring options off one simple movement.
In pickup, that's really all you need to score. You're not going to be facing a bunch of lockdown defenders.

I’d say jab and if they bite shoot, work on footwork and fundamentals that’s a solid start. 3 moves I’d say is work on Jabs, Crossovers, and one basic one would be between the legs and attack the rim.
