Why do you use a set to shot?

Answer 1

there are two different shots in Basketball

the jump shot is where the player jumps to their highest peak then releases the ball usually just above their forehead.

Now the set shot is where you do not jump as high.

Set shots are typically slower releases than jump shots as well.

For a set shot you square your body {feet, arms} to the basket bend the knees and shoot.
