The 3 pound is probably the most popular weighted basketball, which should work good for him. Focus on dribbling and passing drills with it. He could also do some close shooting with it, but I would not do a lot of shooting. If he does decide to do some close shooting with it, make sure he keeps good form while shooting.
It depends. If you can lay it in above the basket, then it could be helpful. In that scenario you would be working on your explosiveness to get the ball from the dribble to above the basket. That could help you to be more explosive on the jump. However, if you cant get above the rim, then I would avoid it with layups because that could have a similar impact as it would on your shot. Hope that was helpful.

The heavy ball will improve, not mess up your form at shooting.
How about lay up its bad to lay up with heavy basketball
