Donovan Mitchell is rolling!

When I look at Stathead (non paying version) or b-r.com, I see mostly consistent formatting: BPM shows as 14.0 (rather than 14); TS% shows as .743 (rather than 74.3%); and FTr shows as .506 (rather than 0.506).
All these useless leading zeroes and % signs add a ton of clutter to the visual. 0.5 steals looks 'bigger' than 2 steals, but it's not.

Also, why can't we get VORP with another decimal place? Especially in playoffs, when 0.1 might be .06 or .14 -- quite a range.
I see there is now a BPM column in the playoff game box scores; but there still isn't a BPM for a playoff series.

The formatting is because I copied it to Google sheets so I could link it here... Google defaults. I'll clean it up.

Would be nice to get another decimal on VORP, you're right!

I tend to prefer looking at BPM at smaller sample sizes anyway... VORP has less relevance.

And is this the right formula for VORP?
vorp = (BPM+2)*Min/4000

Further, is this the formula when all games are 48 minutes? or would you factor avg mpg (of a playoff series, say) into it?

The equation for VORP is: [BPM - (-2.0)] * (% of possessions played) * (team games/82)

Thanks for that.
My simpler formula seems to give almost exactly the same result. 4000 minutes is 82G * 48.78 mpg, so it's a bit heavy on overtimes.
I'm assuming you aren't scouring pbp to determine actual % of possessions, but rather just (min/team min) ?

And I like to avoid double negatives; in this case, I see no reason not to [subtract minus-2].

Yep, your formula works perfectly fine.

BPM disappeared from this year's playoffs about 3 days ago. Then the single-game version was scratched from the boxscores. Any idea what's going on?

I see it on the boxscores right now, but it is missing off of the summary locations. I'm not sure why. I will ask.
