Justin Powell dramatically outplayed his ranking until he was sidelines. He would be a great get for Duke and I think the greater likelihood is Justin does not choose Duke than Duke does not choose Justin.
Worth pointing out that after an awesome 3-game stretch in early December, Powell fell off dramatically. His last 4 games he averaged 4.5 points per game, shooting 18.2% from the field and 22.2% from 3. His two conference games he averaged 3 points, 5.5 assists, and 4 turnovers per game.

Powell had a monster 3-game stretch against South Alabama, Memphis, and Texas Southern, averaging 22.3 points and 5.7 assists per game and shooting 66.7% from the field and 63.1% from 3. Aside from that, he was pretty bad: 7.1 ppg, 4.3 apg, 2.7 topg, shooting 27.5% from the field and 29.2% from 3.

That's not to say he's not worth a look. But there should be a little bit of caveat in seeking him that he might not actually be all that good.
