Not if you already know where the defense is.

Wouldn't this be much better if there was a guideline in place for this such as, "if in transition between the baseline in the backcourt and tip of circle in the frontcourt, all plays of this nature will be deemed block as this is a way of drawing a cheap offensive foul by hoping to establish LGP before the player has a chance to turn to see the defender."

No, it wouldn't be better. And anyway, that's a totally lame "guideline".
The player with the ball has to expect to be guarded. If you catch the ball, you have to expect that somebody's there to guard you. If a defender has LGP and you don't see him, that's your fault.
