Australia guard Georgia Amoore has been selected by the Washington Mystics with pick six in the WNBA Draft.

The Ballarat-born point guard joins a growing number of Australians to be drafted in the WNBA first round while becoming the nation’s highest-selected player since Liz Cambage was taken at pick two by the Tulsa Shock in 2011.
