I'm not too sure whether the inbounder's baskets count towards the score, and whether it is possible to get the basket over the wall is throwing underhand. Although, being able to bounce the basketballs over the bump does save quite a lot of time to maximize scoring.

We're lucky enough to have room for a full court and have built some baskets and an inbound station. The kids are always throwing on their downtime, and we have a number that are very good. Not quite consistent scorers (though I think one got 3 in a row once), but if you watch them you're likely to see a basket before you get bored. Sometimes more than one, though not always top hoop. It's nowhere near as difficult as I was worried it'd be.
On the other hand, while it's nice to be able to bounce over the bridge/barrier, I wouldn't count on being able to do it very often. That spot will end up being primo defense territory if you're good at it. Being able to get it to your alliance robots (hopper or close on the floor) could also be helpful, but requires a lot more flexibility and versatility.
