While it's true that you do need some nature talent or instinct, there are ways to improve your shot just by improving your form. My college coach had all his shooters to shoot with one hand hours until the motion just came second nature. He did this because many shooters have a tendency to somewhat shoot with two hands without even noticing it, which mis-guides many of your shots.

When your on defense pay attention to there belly button because you can tell what side there going to.When your a shooter make sure your feet and your shoulders to the basket and make sure you get open looks.

For shooting remember B.E.E.F
B- balanced stance
E- elbow at 90 degrees
E- eyes on the basket
F- Follow through
and practice, shoot 100 shots at game speed a day
For defense be aggressive don't give your opponent any room to breathe, and try to anticipate what they and their teammates are going to do next.

Truthfully there's a lot of work necessary to become a better defender. Outside of being in shape you need to have a wide knowledge of lanes, positioning and other such days.....

Is all about instinct. If you don't have it don't bother.
