1. It's 20 times harder and takes 2000 more repetitions to "fix" shooting mechanics!

Did you know that it only takes between 100 and 300 repetitions to teach a new movement? Guess how many repetitions it takes to re-teach a movement that was taught incorrectly.
2000 to 3000 repetitions!!!
When you're practicing, don't you think it would be EXTREMELY important to practice correct shooting mechanics? I would sure hope so, because 3 or 4 years down the road, it's going to take you a lot of time to fix the bad shooting mechanics you developed at an early age.
That's why it's super-important for you to learn the shooting fundamentals and constantly practice good shooting form.
2. Give yourself a chance to succeed!

There are many players at the high school level that have poor shooting form. These serious flaws are VERY difficult to correct in high school. 9 players out of 10 don't have the time, confidence, or will-power to break their bad habits.
DON'T BE THAT PLAYER!

3. More players have poor shooting strokes and detrimental flaws today than they ever have in the past.

This is primarily because kids start playing at such an early age and they try to mimic NBA players before they are ready. The sad truth is that these bad shooting habits stick with them.
How many of you want to be like Kobe, Jimmer, Steph Curry, or another one of your favorite NBA players? Do you try to mimic them? But the truth is that young players aren't ready and shouldn't be trying to shoot like Kobe. Now, more than ever, you need to practice and use correct shooting form.
4. A team that shoots with great shooting fundamentals is going to win more games.

Team A shoots 33% from the field. Excluding free throws and 3-pointers, it would take them 60 shots to score 40 points (20 made baskets).
Team B shoots 40% from the field. Excluding free throws and 3-pointers, it would take them 50 shots to score 40 points (20 made baskets).
So, that means that your team could get out-rebounded and have more turnovers, yet still win the game!
