Absolutely do NOT practice shooting at that basket - I wouldn't recommend doing even layups there for that matter.

If you can't make full court layups, you've already answered one of your questions. You know what you need to work on, because the game you want to play isn't 21, 3v3 or 4v4 - its the full court version. Go to an outdoor court and do some full court layups at full speed (like an all out fast break). Do 4-6 in a row going end-to-end, take a break and do some ball handling work for a minute or two, and go back to the full court running. Don't do too many running repetitions without break because you will begin to slow down and it ceases to be game pace. (this drill will also help with your conditioning) If you go to tryouts and consistently miss wide open fast break layups, it may seriously hurt your chances of getting picked up.
