I know Player Efficiency Rating (PER) doesnt truly reflect on the ability of a player. PER does not do justice for defensive specialists. But it's still a good indication. Let see how a player plays vs the money he makes (expectation) this year. Over-expectation or under-expectation? Overrated or underrated? Here is a comparison of the top 20 PER players vs their salary:

Rank -- Player (Team) ----- PER ------- Salary (in millions)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 ------ L James (MIA) ---- 30.27 ----- $16
2 ------ D Wade (MIA) ---- 27.52 ----- $15.7
3 ------ C Paul (LAC) ------ 26.73 ----- $16.34
4 ------ K Durant (OKC) --- 26.52 ----- $15.5
5 ------ K Love (MIN) ------ 25.72 ----- $4.6
6 ------ D Rose (CHI) ------ 24.85 ----- $7
7 ------ D Howard (ORL) --- 24.62 ----- $18.1
8 ------ R Westbrook (OKC)- 24.05 ---- $5.1
9 ------ M Ginobilli (SA) ---- 23.56 ----- $13
10 ---- B Griffin (LAC) ----- 23.3 ------- $5.7
11 ---- A Jefferson (UTAH) - 23.22 ---- $14
12 ---- A Bynum (LAL) ----- 23.05 ----- $14.9
13 ---- P Millsap (UTAH) --- 22.94 ----- $8.1
14 ---- L Aldridge (POR) ----22.7 ------ $12.9
15 ---- G Monroe (DET) ----22.17 ----- $3
16 ---- K Bryant (LAL) ------22.1 ------ $25.2
17 ---- R Anderson (ORL) ---21.99 ---- $2.2
18 ---- D Nowistzki (DAL) ---21.97 ---- $19.1
19 ---- T Parker (SA) --------21.94 ---- $12.5
20 ---- K Faried (DEN) ------21.93 ---- $1.3

The most over-expectation player: Kevin Love
