Seems like you lack the "point guard instinct." All you can really do is talk to yourself during the game and decide what you are going to do prior to doing it. In all honesty, you'll just get better with experience. After school/ on holidays play full court team games with friends. That way you'll develop confidence. Just practice everything in game situation and I'm sure you'll do fine. Prior to playing, find something to do that takes your mind off of the game, this will help ease the nervousness allowing you to unleash the beast within you.
Have fun!

Looks like basketball may not be your sport then. You need to have a lot of instinct and know what to do with the ball when you get it. It is a tough sport to play if you don't have much instinct. For advice I give you keep "practicing" not actual practice but practice playing against other people and learn to go with your instinct. It will all come eventually keep workin ghard and keep your head up.

I see what your saying. I have the same problem, only in a different way. I can do all of these fakes and spin moves that are unstoppable when im just playin with my friends. When i get in front of a crowd, nothing goes right. Its up to you to decide that you CAN play and use instincts to play. Focus on your upcoming game and think about what you would do in certain situations. That always helped me. It may do the same for you.

If you dont have instincts then you are screwed. Instinct can not be taught to you. You just need to do the same things that you do in those drills, it isnt any different.
