E.g., Ray Allen's guide hand kind of goes out to the side a little as he releases so that his shooting arm and guide hand arm form an angle with each other after the releaase. Others I see have the shooting arm and guide hand arm end up parallel to each other on the release. The one thing that seems to be constant amongst them all is that the guide hand arm extends (to at least some degree) to the point the shooting hand releases the ball.

What feels right for some may not be the best way for all. Proper stance and follow through are universal. The rest should be up to the player!

Isn’t that where you want the ball to go?" I agree 100% people try to make shooting way too complicated - almost like a golfers do their golf swing. Tom Nordland has the best advice IMO regarding simplicity and consistency. Great comment FTA “Why not aim for the hole? Isn’t that where you want the ball to go?”
