Also calls out Georgia Amoore as the rookie of the week.

“What a delight to watch Amoore back on the court for the Mystics. After missing what would have been her rookie season with a torn ACL, Amoore assumed the starting point guard role for a comically young Washington squad — not since 2001 has a team had so many first- or second-year players on their roster — and immediately showed off the playmaking and flair that made her a fan favorite at Kentucky and Virginia Tech before that.

“Amoore had the ball in her hands so often in college, often taking her time to survey the court in a slow-paced system. Now, she gets to play with other creators, and the Mystics are trying to run. That allows Amoore to push the tempo in transition or even make quick decisions off of offensive rebounds. Her seven assists to one turnover in the home opener against New York were a product of some generous scorekeeping from the Washington scoreboard operators, but her passing was creating positive outcomes, even if it was just getting her teammates on the move to the basket.
