How can I get a better jump shot?

Shooting Progression

Because form is so important in shooting, work on making that form a habit is very important. An easy way to do this is to lie on your back and shoot the ball straight up into the air. It is very easy to check on the position of the ball, follow through, and rotation. The ball should go straight up and come straight down with proper back spin. This will build "muscle memory" in the drills to follow.
