No-overlap ballots

shared no name with the top

Similarity is rank-biased overlap against each award's final order of finish — 1.00 is the consensus exactly, 0.00 shares no name with it. It measures how unusual a ballot was, not whether it was right: if the panel gets a season wrong, the voter who got it right scores as the outlier.

Least conventional ballot
2022 Most Improved Player — ranked Jordan Poole, then Tyrese Maxey, then Miles Bridges, similarity 0.00. The award went to Ja Morant, who isn't on it.
