Fetch- Wanted him to be "great?" By what you say, you wanted him to be "perfect."
Right now, in many facets of the game, he is far better than most of our defensemen who we think of as great when they were freshmen. And he's only going to get better. Sorry if he's not as "great" as you thought he was gonna be. However, to say he's done anything to be a disappointment is, well, insane.
tnt is right. For as bad as Lee and the defensive corps appear to be (or maybe the better word is "overrated" Fetch?) they've played awfully well all year long. And I don't believe it is solely because of our forwards and Matt Smaby. Matt can't be on the ice 60 minutes a game.
