Not often does one player come in and change an entire program, but that’s exactly what Georgia Amoore did for the Kentucky Wildcats. At just 19 years old, she packed her bags and moved halfway across the world for the love of basketball. She spent four successful seasons at Virginia Tech, which included a trip to the Final Four and an ACC regular season championship. But when head coach Kenny Brooks left, she decided to make a change too and started a new chapter at Kentucky.

Now, Kentucky wasn’t exactly a blue blood program like their men’s team, but Amoore set a new standard there–one that will be hard to top. In just her one year at Lexington, the All-American averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. She broke the Wildcats’ single-season assist record and set the school record for the most games with at least seven 3-pointers in a season.

But Georgia Amoore’s incredible performances weren’t just confined to the regular season. In the first round of the NCAA tournament against Liberty, she tied the Wildcats’ single-game record with a stunning 34 points. But her tournament journey ended on a sour note. In the second round, she missed a crucial shot, leading to Kentucky’s elimination.

That final college game may have ended badly, but Amoore is not letting one missed shot define her career. “I’m not gonna let one shot affect five years,” she said in the post game interview. “That’s pretty much it.” With that mindset, Amoore is heading into the WNBA draft, and you can bet that plenty of teams will have their eyes on the 5’6” guard.

Where will Georgia Amoore likely land in the 2025 WNBA draft?

Georgia Amoore, Caitlin Clark, and Sabrina Ionescu are the only Division I players to score over 2,300 points and dish out more than 800 assists in their careers. While Ionescu and Clark were both selected first overall in their respective drafts, Amoore is certainly a player with the potential to go in the first round this time around. Let’s dive into some of those potential options.

Los Angeles Sparks

The Los Angeles Sparks made a bold move this offseason by securing star guard Kelsey Plum, but with uncertainty surrounding the futures of Aari McDonald and Julie Allemand, the team could be left with Odyssey Sims as the next best option alongside Plum and Rae Burrell in the backcourt.

This highlights the Sparks’ need for additional backcourt depth. Georgia Amoore would be an ideal addition to address this gap. She offers both scoring and playmaking ability, providing a long-term solution for the Sparks. Amoore’s ability to control tempo and push the pace would be vital for LA, helping to create a faster, more dynamic style of play.

Amoore, who also participated in Kelsey Plum’s exclusive 2025 Dawg Class skills camp, could be high on the Sparks’ wish list, especially considering Plum’s growing admiration for the Kentucky guard. The Los Angeles Sparks hold the 9th, 21st, and 28th picks in the draft.

Seattle Storm

The Storm hold the 2nd, 26th, 29th, and 34th picks in this year’s WNBA Draft. With new additions like guards Erica Wheeler, Lexie Brown, and Zia Cooke, plus forwards Alysha Clark and Katie Lou Samuelson, Seattle has bolstered their roster in key areas. However, there’s still a need for a big. With Li Yeuru being the only big with WNBA experience in the roster, it’s likely they’ll go for a big with their second pick.

But if, for some reason, Amoore is available in the second round, they could be one of the teams to watch out for. Diggins-Smith, Wheeler and Cooke are the current options at point guard. If the Storm don’t view Wheeler or Cooke as long-term options they could very well look at Amoore.

Seattle’s system is all about smart, quick guards, and Amoore fits that mold to perfection. Her playmaking ability, quick decision-making, and skill set would make her an instant contributor. If she lands in Seattle, she could be a key piece for their future. Definitely one to keep an eye on!

Minnesota Lynx

The Lynx are one of the few teams heading into the new season with the same starting five and key reserves from last year. After finishing as last season’s runners-up, they don’t have any glaring holes in their lineup and are already primed for another serious title run. However, they still hold the 11th, 15th, 24th, and 37th picks in the draft, and could look to further strengthen their roster.

One potential luxury pick could be adding a guard to complement the backcourt duo of Courtney and Kayla. A true point guard who can both distribute and score could be a valuable addition. That’s where Georgia Amoore could fit in perfectly. With her impressive assist numbers and excellent floor vision, Amoore would provide a valuable playmaking option alongside a scoring wing like Napheesa Collier, last season’s MVP runner-up.

Atlanta Dream

Even with stars like Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, the Dream struggled with three-point shooting last season, ranking 11th in the league at just 30.8%. With the additions of Brittney Griner and Bri Jones, floor spacing will become even more crucial for Atlanta. The Dream are in desperate need of a reliable 3-point shooter, and who better than Georgia Amoore?

Amoore has proven herself as one of the best long-range shooters, setting the school record for most games with at least seven 3-pointers in a season. With the Dream holding the 18th and 36th picks in the upcoming draft, don’t be surprised if they use one of those selections to bring Amoore into the fold–especially if she’s still available by that point.

Who is Georgia Amoore’s player comparison in the WNBA?

Amoore is a two-time AP All-American, ACC Tournament MVP, and the SEC Newcomer of the Year. You could also describe her as fast, undersized, resilient, and a leader. But she’s not alone. There are a few players out there with a similar style. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Courtney Vandersloot 

Georgia Amoore could be compared to Courtney Vandersloot, and for good reason. Both are elite playmakers with a natural ability to control the game. Vandersloot, with a career average of 6.7 assists per game, has been one of the best floor generals in the WNBA. This season, Amoore’s 6.9 assists per game mirrors that same role.

Though both players are undersized, they make up for it with smarts and composure.

Jordin Canada 

Georgia Amoore and Jordin Canada? Yeah, they’re cut from the same cloth. Both stand at 5’6″, but don’t let the height fool you. What they lack in size, they more than make up for in speed and grit. Canada is known for her defensive pressure and playmaking–so is Amoore.

Georgia thrives in transition. She loves to push the pace, flying down the court to create quick buckets. And that ball control? Elite. Even at full speed, she rarely loses her handle.

Kelsey Plum

Georgia Amoore and Kelsey Plum? That’s a fun one. Both are wired to score. Pure bucket-getters. Plum made her name with a deadly pull-up game and deep range. Amoore? Same story. She can light it up from beyond the arc and pull up on a dime. This season, Georgia averaged 19.6 points per game–just like Plum did back in her Washington days. Confident. Crafty. Cold-blooded.
