Georgia Amoore Is Ready to Run the Show in Washington

Georgia Amoore was selected sixth in the 2025 WNBA Draft. With the selection of Amoore, the Washington Mystics might have found their point guard of the future.

Amoore coms a s floor general in every sense of the way. As a point guard, she has the vision, confidence, and experience that doesn’t fold under pressure in big moments. The 5’6” point guard from Australia has an elite basketball mind and a fearless heart.

Amoore doesn’t just play the position. She commands it.

Record-Setting Resume

After four amazing seasons leading Virginia Tech, Amoore wrapped up her college career in the SEC playing for Kentucky.

While in her lone year in Lexington, Amoore hit career-highs across the board — averaging 19.6 points, 6.9 assists, and shooting 42.3% from the field. To cap off her collegiate career, Amoore finished as one of three players in NCAA history to record 2,300+ points and 800+ assists, joining only Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu in that elite class.

As she walks into the Washington Mystics franchise, Amoore has a real opportunity too.

With Julie Vanloo no longer in the picture, the starting point guard spot in D.C. is wide open — and Amoore might be the perfect one to take it. The calm she displays under pressure, quick decision-making, and ability to change pace on a dime make her one of the most plug-and-play rookies in the league.

“I’m excited to go in and be challenged and mentally grow my game,” Amoore said. “I know I have the mental capabilities and I know I have the confidence to do so.”

Chemistry in the Capital

But it’s not just her mind that makes her special.

Amoore’s got a roster full of weapons she can run with — from rising star Aaliyah Edwards, to defensive anchor Brittney Sykes, post bruiser Shakira Austin, veteran leader Stefanie Dolson, and fellow rookie standouts Sonia Citron (No. 3) and Kiki Iriafen (No. 4).

All three rookies landed in Washington’s lap — and the chemistry might be better than anyone expected.

“I’ve always said I wanted to play with Sonia,” Amoore said. “Now I didn’t think it would be in a situation like this… And Kiki — I love her personality, her demeanor, but when she gets on the court, it’s wraps.”

Amoore also brings international experience, having suited up for Australia and competed at the highest levels globally. That kind of poise and leadership can’t be taught — it’s earned. And it shows every time she steps on the court.

“When you get thrown into a situation like that, you either adapt or drown, right?” she said. “Swim or drown. So I’m excited.”

Draft Night Style, On-Court Substance

She’s also bringing some style with her. Literally. Amoore made WNBA draft history as the first-ever WNBA draftee to be styled by Russell Westbrook.

“He spent hours with me today fitting it, trying it on. He’s been very active in the process,” she said. “It didn’t feel like just putting his name on something… I think it’s the start. You’re going to see this happen more often.”

But don’t let the fits fool you — Georgia Amoore is all business. She’s already making it clear that her identity on the court will be more than scoring and passing. She’s ready to be a disruptive defender too.

“I haven’t felt like I’ve shown the ability to be that pesky, annoying defender… but I’m excited to do that now.”

Ready to Lead in D.C.

She’s got the talent, the tools, the team, and the temperament. What she wants next is the challenge — and a shot to lead this franchise back to relevance.

“I’m super excited to get there and grow myself and my game, and then go out and put my best foot forward.”

From Ballarat to D.C., Georgia Amoore isn’t just trying to make a splash. She’s ready to take the wheel.
