Notable findings:

#1 overall: Trayce Jackson-Davis (40 pts): the highest real Scrabble score in the league, no blank tiles required, just naturally loaded with high-value letters. Doesn’t fit the board at 18 letters, but he wins outright.
Dead last: Tre Mann (9 pts): 7 letters, all common. T=1, R=1, E=1, M=3, A=1, N=1, N=1. He is worth less in Scrabble than a single J tile.
Stephen Curry: 22 points. LeBron James: 22 points. They are tied in Scrabble. They are tied in Scrabble.

“Pro” Scrabble player with multiple tournaments under his belt here, that’s not how it works. You’d have bonuses like Triple Word, Double Letter etc. And what matters is doing “Bingo”, which is putting all 7 letters in your hand into the board, resulting in a 50 points bonus added to your score. Bingo is what wins you games.

nappa_kimchi | Spurs

3 | 19 hours ago

don’t think you need to fix anything brother, as someone who wouldnt know how to start sorting data like this, it’s a fun post as is! Finding the MAX score a player’s name could get you in a real Scrabble scenario would be a lot of work, just look up “OXYPHENBUTAZONE scrabble” to see the kind of board state finding the max score for a 15-letter word requires hahaha

edit: thinking about it for a second, if you want to take this even further, you could take players’ names that are 15 letters long, double the scores of the letters at the 4th and 12th positions (where the Double Letter Score spots are), add the scores of the rest of the letters, multiply that score by 27 (assuming the play hits three Triple Word Scores along one of the edges of the board), and then add 50 (“Bingo” bonus for using all 7 tiles on your rack) to get a max score for just the player’s name itself. For example, BROOKSBARNHIZER would score 1049 points assuming the second O and first I land on the open DLS spots and the first B, second B, and last R landing on the open TWS spots!

nappa_kimchi | Spurs

3 | 20 hours ago

i was thinking about this after OP’s last post about NBA player names - makes me wonder what the max score for playing BROOKSBARNHIZER (15 letters) on a doctored board would be, running across 3 open TWS and two open DLS spaces. Maybe with the B, B and R that would land on the TWS also making some high scoring words themselves (eg. B+LADDER) or a parallel play with -HIZER being played above INANE (HI, IN, ZA, EN, RE) or something like that would get you towards OXYPHENBUTAZONE (max 1700+ points!) territory?

Maybe once we have a superstar player with 15 letters in their name with a higher base score than Barnhizer, I’ll be motivated to find that max score play, board and all.
