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
2015 Defensive Player of the Year — ranked DeAndre Jordan, then Rudy Gobert, then Andrew Bogut, similarity 0.11. The award went to Draymond Green, who isn't on it.
