is VORP the closest thing to a BPM WAR/Wins Added?

Doing a little research project on award voting vs. catch-all metrics, and trying to decide how best to use some of the metrics when it comes to accounting for games played (something that is important to the awards discourse/voting).
RAPTOR has WAR, EPM has Estimated Wins, LEBRON has Wins Added, RPM has RPM Wins.
If I wanted to use bballref's BPM 2.0, which explains that VORP=[BPM - (-2.0)] * (% of possessions played) * (team games/82)
Would you say it's safe to use VORP as a version of BPM that weighs games played appropriately enough?
