I am just having a hard time envisioning why the defense would not be able to pick off the pass, or strand the ball carrier out of bounds by guarding his teammates? It just seems like a strange play to me.

The angle definitely does allow the player to pass around the defense.

BITS, just how is a cross court pass that has to go past the backboard, basket, net, supports, and any defenders that jump to challenge it an advantage?
As I said earlier you see players make this pass all the time when they are trapped on the sideline or feed the post on the endline.
