That's grammatically correct but rather ponderous, like saying, "He's using his hands to propel the ball into the basket." You'd more likely hear:
He's practicing his jump shot.
He's practicing his three-point shot.
He's practicing his outside shooting.
He's practicing his jump shot.
He's practicing his three-point shot.
He's practicing his outside shooting.
