If it ultimately IS legal, than throwing is definitely worth it. If not, unless you plan to shoot for 10's, I'd say NO.

That approach is legal, but only gives 10 points, since by definition a "catch" requires that the thrower and catcher be DIFFERENT partners on an alliance.
So only 10 points, but possession maintained, which has its own value.
