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
2016 Sixth Man of the Year — ranked Dennis Schroder, then Will Barton, then Enes Kanter, similarity 0.11. The award went to Jamal Crawford, who isn't on it.
