Something like just a regular wide conveyor but with guides in it like so:

Do you think this has the possibility of jamming?

A good way to prevent jamming is to make the entire "floor" of the hopper move. This moves jammed balls out of the way so that new balls can fall into their place.
This is the concept we are planning to use, modeled at 1/3 scale with gamepieces that are affordable. This spits balls out into two streams, but if you make half of the hopper it should shoot balls out into one stream reliably.
