The pick is in! Kentucky women’s basketball standout Georgia Amoore was selected sixth overall by the Washington Mystics in the first round of the 2025 WNBA Draft.
The Mystics had three of the top six picks, selecting Notre Dame's Sonia Citron with the third pick and USC's Kiki Iriafen with the fourth. The team is set for a roster overhaul in 2025 after finishing the 2024 season with a 14-26 record.
