WoW: 2010-2011 Top Underpaid Players
Wages of Wins declares Kevin Love the most underpaid player in the league last year. Not a huge surprise given that metric considers him the best player in the league last year, and he's on his rookie deal.
I don't think win score is the best stat out there, and I don't think Love's the best player in the league. But value-wise, no doubt the Wolves are robbing him blind right now. I suspect he'd be up there no matter what measure you want to use.
Anyway, 18 of the top 30 underpaid players, according to WoW, are on rookie deals. The rest are largely super-duper stars who are underpaid thanks to contract caps, or they're non-scoring, WoW-style studs (e.g., Kidd, Rondo, Chuck Hayes).
At any rate, this could be evidence vindicating Stop-n-Pop's theory of (paraphrasing) "Superstars, good young players on rookie deals, or bust."

Our guy!
I have to say though, wins produced in one way of putting value on a player but who will I pay to see? On this team the Rookies as much as anything Rubio for sure. Kevin too, because you wonder what he might “do tonight”. So there is a point in paying players for their “drawing power” as well.
