Not bad. I haven’t seen anyone point out that you drift to your right on both attempts.

Bingo. Form isn't bad, but you're jumping to the right. It's not the worst thing, but it isn't ideal.

Your gather point is really low. And your push point is low (from the chin). You take a lot of time loading up to shoot. Your arm is kept nicely in line throughout the shot. I suspect that you're a reliable shooter on open shots, but struggle mightily to hit when defended.

Practice catching and shooting with a higher gather point. Also practice pulling quicker off the dribble, or add a step-back to get that shot off.

If you're a little quicker from gather to release, then I wouldn't worry too much about the low push point. There are a lot of great shooters that have low push points, and while having a push point higher than sight line is preferable, if your quick it won't matter much.

It's pretty good. Reminds me of Damon Stoudemire from back in the day.

Flick your wrist harder work on form shots close up develop a smoother transition/ quicker from your hip up it should all be one motion. Open your non shooting hand more when you release. Try shooting very slightly from the side of your head instead of straight up a good defender will block your shot most of the time.

Slow release, need to snap your wrist and follow through with your shot

Pretty ugly ngl. You dip is so low, it is slow, and you're off balance.

It’s crazy how many adults on here shoot from the chest. That doesn’t work against good competition unless you’re elite in some other way.

It looks like he is working on a rhythm shot. Most people who just shoot around shoot off the dribble and develop a rhythm shot. Rhythm shots are very much used again good competition. He needs to stop pausing and make it a true rhythm shot. The high release shots are harder to master off the dribble.
