Focus on the stretch-shortening cycle. You need depth jumps and resisted sprints to improve ground contact time. Don't sleep on rear-foot elevated split squats either; unilateral strength is the foundation of a 1 foot takeoff.

If you wanna improve your vertical jump in basketball, emphasize strength and explosive exercises. Perform exercises such as squats, lunges, and calf raises, and plyometrics exercises such as box jumps and jump squats. Train core strength, master the technique of jumping, and be regular. Sleep and eating are also good for maximizing the results.

Improving your vertical jump mostly comes down to building leg strength and explosiveness, so focus on exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts along with plyometrics like box jumps and jump squats; I’ve noticed even a few weeks of consistent training (3–4 times a week) makes a difference, and don’t ignore stretching and proper rest because tight muscles and fatigue can really hold your jump back.
