- Fake to the exact spot you want to throw. Doing this only prepares your defender to anticipate your next move.
- Fake with exaggerated motions. This fake looks fake. Reallly really fake. Even the worst defenders watch you flail around comically as they get a breather and you bore the soap opera scouts in the stands.
- Fake without a plan. Throwing a fake without a purpose is a waste of energy and a waste of time. Your fake should be planned to put a defender in a wrong spot to open up spot for you to throw. Fake with a purpose!

What's the point of faking if you do this?

I'll back you up on 2 and 3. Not so much on 1.
This is wide open for a slew of innuendos.
piggy backing 808, one only works if you fake where you want to throw and then once you get there hesitate the other way to get your defender to bite and then throw. OR just have really long monkey arms or a stretch to go around them :)
BUT well said about faking. Faking can make people look very dumb if not done properly.
i would add that faking when unneeded is a bad fake.
If you want to huck and the mark is out of the way then don't fake. If there is an opening to break the mark then don't fake. When you fake you provoke a reaction that may close the opening you once had.
