A player may pick up his dribble and stand still for any period of time and then "end up shooting the ball."

It's all about the habitual shooting motion, not just picking up your dribble. On a player shooting a layup, this starts early.

The player doing a jump stop could also start this motion on his way down as he gathers the ball for his shot.

Just Another Ref:

Read what Snaqs wrote in his post that precedes this one. If the play is continuous, yes, the stopping of the dribble does start the act of shooting. In your example it does not.
