You need a decent smooth jump but also some forward momentum. Just jump up and extend with the ball in you hand - you hand will probably be around face level or slightly above. You basically have the ball cupped. Extend the wrist, let the ball roll onto your fingers and then flex the wrist to roll in up into the air. I'm no expert but I roll the ball up more or less vertically - my forward momentum carries the ball towards the basket.
