Georgia Amoore was one of the three rookies that the Washington Mystics selected in the first six picks of the 2025 WNBA Draft. Washington navigated through the lottery well, picking up talent that they hope will help accelerate their rebuild. Unfortunately, they will have to wait until next season to see all of their 2025 rookies play on the court.
Georgia Amoore tore her ACL during an offseason practice with the Mystics, one of her first with the team. Instead of proving herself and getting acclimated to the WNBA, Amoore will ride the bench and be forced to watch as she recovers. WNBA fans voiced their dismay at the injury, with one going as far as to suggest that the league adjust its scheduling to help rookies in the offseason.

Being introduced to the digital side of content inspired Zachary to become a writer, and his love of basketball made this an obvious transition.
His favorite team is the OKC Thunder, and Zachary started following them in 2011 when they were on the rise with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden. His favorite basketball players from the past are Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal. Those three came to define their eras of basketball and were dominant without beating their chests too much. Zachary is a big fan of quiet greatness and these three players are good embodiments of that.
When not writing or watching sports, Zachary enjoys reading and exercising, as well as gaming. He loves to be outside and spend time with friends and family, including his three dogs.
