Georgia Amoore Drafted Sixth Overall by WNBA's Washington Mystics

Australian guard Georgia Amoore has been selected by the Washington Mystics as the sixth overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, marking the highest selection for an Australian since Liz Cambage was chosen second in 2011. The Mystics, now under new coaching leadership, also drafted Sonia Citron at No. 3 and Kiki Iriafen at No. 4, highlighting a strong start to the draft. Amoore, who averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists for the University of Kentucky this season, expressed her determination to overcome challenges posed by her height at 5'6" and emphasized her competitive spirit. Notably, she was styled by NBA star Russell Westbrook at the draft, showcasing his clothing brand. This achievement comes after a successful college career where she became one of the premier playmakers in women's college basketball. Her selection reflects the growing prominence of Australian players in the WNBA.
