BREAKING: Georgia Amoore Goes No. 6 to Washington Mystics — Let the Pro Era Begin
In a moment of well-earned celebration and the start of a new journey, Georgia Amoore has officially been selected with the No. 6 overall pick by the Washington Mystics in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
After a stellar collegiate career and months of draft buzz, the Australian-born point guard is heading to the nation’s capital to begin her professional journey — and the league just got a whole lot quicker, sharper, and more electric.
A Star Is Born
Amoore dazzled fans and scouts alike with her poise, vision, and shooting touch during her time at Virginia Tech, where she established herself as one of the nation’s top floor generals. Known for her deep range, fearless playmaking, and ability to lead in clutch moments, she leaves behind a legacy as one of the most dynamic guards in college basketball.
In her final season, she averaged 17.8 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game, commanding the floor with maturity and fire — a true extension of the coach on the court.
Her impact extended beyond the stat sheet. Amoore was the engine of Virginia Tech’s offense, guiding the team deep into the NCAA tournament and earning multiple All-ACC honors along the way.
A Perfect Fit for D.C.
The Washington Mystics, who have been seeking to bolster their backcourt with a playmaker who brings both scoring and leadership, found their answer in Amoore. With veteran stars like Ariel Atkins and Shakira Austin already in the mix, the addition of a high-IQ, high-energy guard adds another dimension to their offensive identity.
Amoore’s ability to read defenses, create off the dribble, and stretch the floor with her three-point shooting makes her an immediate asset to the Mystics’ lineup. But even more importantly, her fierce competitiveness and winning mentality are the traits that will make her presence felt in the locker room from day one.
International Roots, Global Reach
Originally from Australia, Amoore’s draft moment is not only a personal milestone, but a celebration for Aussie basketball fans worldwide. She now joins a growing list of Australian stars making waves in the WNBA and further solidifies the global reach of the league.
“She’s a winner. She’s a leader. She’s a star in the making,” one WNBA analyst said during the live draft broadcast. “This is a player who’s ready to contribute now — and still has room to grow into something truly special.”
The Pro Era Begins
As the bright lights of the WNBA await, one thing is certain — Georgia Amoore is ready. Ready to lead. Ready to compete. Ready to make her mark.
To the fans in Washington: buckle up.
To the rest of the league: you’ve been warned.
Georgia Amoore has arrived.
