At least one ESPN NBA analyst wants to see more of the Indiana Pacers.

"I wish I had video of all the meetings I've been in this year at ESPN, when I wanted to talk more about the Indiana Pacers, particularly after they got (Pascal) Siakam)," analyst Tim Legler said on Ryen Russillo's podcast.

"I watch this team every night and I go, 'That's a fun style to play in. I envy these guys to play in a system like this,'" he said. "Just how hard it is to guard. This many guys who make shots, and they don't waste one dribble."
