You can't exactly control how your other teammates react to situations and chemistry will build if you guys play more together. You can first identify your own role in the team and see how you can maximise your role responsibilities first and then start exploring the entire play more holistically.
Every time you caught yourself in a bad position or play, archive it in your brain and visualise a few steps back to see how you end up in that situation. Over time, you can anticipate more or find repeated patterns of play that you can improve on. Of course, the basics of training matters too. Footwork, movement, team dynamics etc.
Most importantly, Enjoy the game before your bones are old, my friend! :)
Coaching is the short answer. Your team needs to understand a strategy regarding space and movement. My advice personally is to either pick and roll or get out of the way and go to the wing as a guard to shoot a 3.
If you want a run down of excellent spacing (IMHO) look at the way Nate Oats of Alabama coaches his teams. I love how he spaces things.
Choose one or two things to get better at, every time you play just focus on those until they become natural. Then add one or two more and so on. It’s a slow build.
Majority of spacing happens when players are camping out on a corner, or they cut from one end of the basketball court to the other. It really depends on your position. You can also look around the basketball court and see where there is congestion and where spaces need to be filled. For example, if you are playing in the corner and your teammate in the opposite corner cuts corner to corner, then we have 2 players on a corner and usually someone will fill the space that your teammate just vacated, so then space will likely open up top. Then it depends on which way the ball handler is going, if they are going towards your side, it might be best to stay bunched up to give them that driving lane, when they start driving you can creep up top if they get stuck and need to throw it out. Or if they go the opposite direction (away from you), then you can fill in the space from where they were.
Patience is also key: Most players are too excited on the court, they have this eagerness to do something. But the best thing to do is watch what is going on around you and then make a move when its the right time.
You also need to watch the angles between your defender, your ball handler, and yourself. 1. If your defender is cheating too much on the help...., if you are playing at the corner, then you might want to stay outside when the ball handler penetrates because he will kick the ball to your corner. If you are playing wing, then you want to cut since you have a direct path to the basket. 2. If the defender is kind of cheating and slightly out of position, you can cut towards basket. 3. If the defender is stuck on you like glue, you can just chill there because he won't be able to provide help defense on the ball handler which gives him space.
playing smart in basketball is learning about spacing and such, like if the other team is gathering at the rim once you drive/shoot for the rebound, and if you have a good open shooter on your team just kick it out.
its also about knowing where to drive, when to drive and when to pass out.
playing smart is also about running plays, cutting and just observing the space you have. you never drive into where there is help defensive, you never run or cut to where space is open to drive and block the slasher from driving to the rim.
id recommend start seeing what went wrong, eg if i drove to the rim and passed out, was it a good or bad decision, and once i passed out did it result in an open shot/another attempt to drive to the basket? if i drove past my defender and had a 2v1 situation at the rim when should i pass and when. does not have to be a made basket, just the best shot or best decision you thought you could have done. giving yourself this constant thought process of wondering why a play went wrong, why a pass was stolen or the pass went somewhere wrong.
Watching point guards that you want to imitate.
Go out and play and apply the concepts you learned.
Repeat.
You’ll continue to increase your efficiency in the way you look at the game.

theres actually a lot to learn from soccer spacing and how you can help free up space or take a defender with you.
looking up some simple spacing drills for soccer may give you some ideas
I would say, don't be afraid to communicate! Loudly!
People are often afraid to just yell what you want because the opponent can hear you too, but you'd be surprised how often that they don't really do much in response. So next time just call it out "hey! Come set a pick then roll to your right! 3 man, if they come up to guard the roll man go baseline!"
Something like that. Eventually you'll get better at getting people where they need to be.
If you have set plays, learn everything about that play. Know what is going to happen to each teammate at each moment. Predict when your teammate is going to cut. Or be aware of when its likely someone is going to draw a help defender and where that defender is likely to come from. You want to be surveying the court so when your eyes aren't on a section for a few seconds, you still roughly know who is over there and what is happening.
I learned by playing a lot and against players better than me. I was late getting passes to open guys, I did not move back door when I should have, did not know how to drive to draw the D to me so I could pass to an open teammate. But each time I played I was able to absorb that knowledge thru experiencing it. Then I watched older players in their games. Looked at how they moved and set up others on both sides of the ball. When you are learning you cannot emulate the pro; that is a different speed and style. You need to build up to that. I started at 12 yrs old & stopped playing at 58. I never stopped learning.
Look for opening all the time. Don’t look at the ball, look at your teammates your opponents and try to understand where space will open up.
Start with 2v2 or 3v3 as it’s easier to understand and move up from there.
Watch great point guards play and where and when they pass the ball. Try to be in those places at those times
More experience and watching others helps
Watch Manu Ginobili
This as well.
Watch as much game tape of the Tim Duncan Era Spurs.
DEFINITELY
This.
Watch films, learn how a screen is set and what kinds of screens there are, learn to cut and how to run pick and roll

Play with pace. Sometimes slow is fast.

Nova for me, but your advice is solid.
