  "account": "Malachi Moreno, a lifelong Kentucky basketball fan, recently shared his dream lineup for the Kentucky Wildcats' starting 5 and a sixth man. His top pick in the point guard position was John Wall, a Kentucky icon who only played one season there, despite his immense talent. Next, Malik Monk at the two-guard position, known for his ability to score big, would complement Wall's game perfectly. At the three spot, Givens, the current radio announcer for the Wildcats, was Moreno's choice, even though he's not well-known to current recruits. Anthony Davis was Moreno's pick for the power forward position, one of the all-time Kentucky greats and a National Champion. DeMarcus Cousins was selected for the center position, with Moreno stating it made sense given his connection to Wall and Cousins. Lastly, the sixth man was Reed Sheppard, a Kentucky legend with a fun playing style, whose father is also a basketball legend.",
