  "account": "The NBA season is set to commence, and the author has recently completed a 14-team draft for the NBA High Score Creator League. The competition features 13 of the Association's top creators, following Ben of NBA Recap Pod's victory last year. For those unfamiliar with High Score, the author provides a brief overview: draft 10 players, start six (G, G, FC, FC, FC, Util), and only the best game of the week for each starter contributes to the score. Scoring is based on points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, with turnovers not counting.\n\nThe author discusses the draft order, which was randomized, and highlights the top picks. Round 1 sees Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama, Luka Dončić, Cade Cunningham, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Giannis Antetokounmpo chosen, each with a different position. Later picks include Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Cooper Flagg, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Johnson, Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, and Scottie Barnes.",
