If the player can get those things together and have good success in practice (>80-85%), then things usually clean up in games. It’s also important to stick the cookie jar finish every time.

While I completely agree with Rhythm staggering legs is a form nightmare. Staggering legs causes more arms, more arms makes it harder to be consistent. Squaring up the hoop is shooting 101

Its actually just the opposite and guys who have toes even at the basket are seldom if ever good shooters. Shooting is all about balance and that does not create balance at all- alot of big guys do that and it results in a two part shot at release . Starting the ball low is what creates arm swing or starting on the wrong side which a lot of younger players do when they get out beyond their range .

I've been to many camps when i was younger, and two that were specifically shooting camps. Two at one of the best D3 schools in the nation with a legendary coach. And it was always "square up to the hoop". Every kid i've ever worked with that had trouble squaring up in 15 years of coaching that I got to square up dramatically improved their shots. So, sorry, but i disagree. I completely understand some of the modern guys think differently, i don't agree.

Best shooter ever, feet every so slightly off, but lower body, squared up.

It's called stepping into the shot and literally every good shooter will anchor with the off foot and step into the shot-thereby eliminating movement with the upper body. Watch Curry,Clay Thompson-Brett Blizzard they all shoot with a right shoulder lead and feet under shoulders or a little wider . Nobody teaches square up in the last 25 years . They also get their feet under them for the catch and shoot all in one motion .it's called practice and not rocket science -with the off foot anchor.

You clearly didn't read the article with Steph talking about, "squaring up" his body
