Take the case of Shane Battier of the Rockets, it seems that few outside of his 'boss', Daryl Morey, and Moneyball author, Michael Lewis seem to appreciate his contribution despite dismal stats. See the NYT article for details at: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/magazine/15Battier-t.html This kind of analysis might be just what you are loking for.
