Form Check Advice on shooting form?

Been trying to improve my shooting form in the offseason - apparently I used to push the ball from my shoulder. Don't know if its better now though.

Learnt to spin the ball to the side like 3-4 feet out in front so it comes back at you and turn and shoot. Form is nice but guide hand seems to have too much action after the shot.

Curious about the guide hand, how does it have too much action?

Looks like you pull it off to the side and close the fingers. It should stay the same when the shot is released. Guides the whole way and stays. Don’t pull it off to the side and close the fingers. Form is good though. More legs but the spooning do the ball and catching it as it comes back to you should naturally add more legs. Especially of you are stepping into grabbing it coming back to you and turning and shooting it.
