Stage: Beginner/Intermediate
Stage Characteristics: Improvements from last layup! Player dribbled with appropriate hand and had eyes on the basket. He still jumped with the right foot instead of the left. He also jumped a bit too soon. His arm extension was good and he released the ball at the peak of his reach. He also only used his right hand to make the shot.
