What does VORP mean in basketball?

替代球员价值Value over replacement player

BPM turned into a season total: how much a player is worth over a freely available replacement, whose level is fixed at a BPM of −2.0. It rewards being good and being available.

Updated 20 Aug 2026

How it is worked out

(BPM + 2.0) × %MIN × (Tm G ÷ 82)

%MIN is the player’s share of the team’s total minutes. The 82 is the NBA season length, which is the competition this metric was built for.

Worked through

Two players at +2.0 BPM end up far apart if one played a full season and the other half of it, which is the point: availability is part of value.

One term down, the whole sheet to go

The numbers on a sheet lean on each other. How many free throws appear depends on the team foul count; how many rebounds exist depends on how both teams shot. Reading a whole game means reading them together.
