But if someone is really inexperienced, they usually welcome some advice on how they can be more effective. One girl on my basketball team was so frustrated with her shooting that she simply didn't want anyone to pass to her, so we were basically 4-on-5 when we were on offense. So we taught her how to set a screen. Now she at least has a role that she's comfortable with, even if she never scores... we're always quick to point out when one of her screens results in a basket or open shot.

This.
On my rec team last year, we had one guy who went the majority of the year without scoring. Fairly new player, probably the worst skater on the team by far.
When he finally put one in the net, our bench erupted like he scored a game 7 OT winner.
