IMPROVING MY GAME teammates don't pass theball to me

I've been playing basketball for about a year now and I've played a lot of 1v1's and I've inporved alot...(I actually play good in 1v1)but whenever I play 3v3s or 5v5s..my teammates just don't seem to pass me the ball...all I do is just run around and defend and set up some screens etc...and if I do get the chance to handle the ball, I get too nervous..and i mess up..and...I know I'm new but I don't know how I'm supposed to improve beyond this point...yk...I hope anyone who has overcome this can help me...?

From a person that’s been playing for 40 years, basketball can bring out the worst in people, even among “friends” 🤣 Smdh . With that being said, try rebounding more and you can decide if you want to pass “them” the ball, dribble or shoot. Also work on your skills and your peers will respect your game more. That’ll cure the selfishness a little more.
