With Amoore and Sonia Citron, the Mystics have their backcourt of the future.
The Washington Mystics selected guard Georgia Amoore out of the University of Kentucky with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
Amoore is the Mystics’ third pick of the night after they selected Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron third overall and USC forward Kiki Iriafen fourth overall. She may share a backcourt with Citron as the starting point guard, but given concerns over her size translating to the WNBA level, she may also start the season coming off the bench.
Amoore spent her final collegiate season at Kentucky, where she averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. She had spent her previous four college seasons at Virginia Tech, where she had initially emerged as one of the best passers in the nation.
Amoore showed up to the draft in a sleek suit designed by former Wizard Russell Westbrook, with whom she appeared in the draft’s pre-game show.
