- Kentucky's Georgia Amoore is unbothered by criticisms about her game before WNBA draft
When the Kentucky Wildcats take the floor, one player almost immediately stands out: senior guard Georgia Amoore .

"I hear it all the time. I'm too short . I'm not quick enough. I'm not this. I'm not that," she recently told the media when reflecting on her career . "But it's like, 'Okay. What am I then?" Here's more from the potential WNBA draft prospect on all the noise surrounding her stature:

People are always going to say somethings, and there's gonna be days where you feel it. There's gonna be days where you disagree. There's gonna be days where you agree, but I'm this. I'm solid ..."

So, you know, I take pride in that. I just take little wins every single day. So, if that's what you have to do, then, do it―because I'm loving my life right now."
