These 3 things are what I believe are the most important aspects of the jump shot, and if players get just these 3 things right, they're usually a pretty good shooter. There is more to it than these 3, but they are a great starting point:
1. Shooting Hand (and elbow) under the middle of the ball just before release
2. Balance - jump off two feet, land on two feet without body rotating in the air
Keeping both hands up on your follow through (not dropping your guide hand) greatly helps with balance.
3. Follow Through LOCKED, STRAIGHT, HIGH
Locked meaning wrist down, elbow locked
Straight meaning arm straight at rim, wrist flicking down straight
High meaning elbow above eyebrows
