it's not so much wrist strength as it is a smooth flick/release.
your power is more so generated from bending the knees, and carrying that momentum upwards to your triceps. your elbow--controlled by your shoulders--plays an undervalued role in maintaining that power.

wrist strength in this sense is more about steadying the ball and getting the spin on it. of course, your other hand also aids in stabilizing the ball and lining it up as you bring it up over your head for the shot.

i hope that's articulate enough, but otherwise youtube should have good guides, or i can show u IRL
