In the race: 101 candidates with at least 2 games (half of what the most-played rookie has) and 15 minutos per game. The 65-game rule does not apply. To be eligible a player must come off the bench in more games than he starts.
There is no official formula. The award almost always goes to the highest-scoring bench player: 19 of the last 20 winners were among the top three scorers on their team, and most played on winning teams. That is why scoring weighs the most, and record a bit more than in other awards.
Each measure goes from 0 to 100 among the candidates.
