When asked by WDFN-AM (1130) about his role on the Pistons this season, Lindsey Hunter said:

"Jack of all trades, master of none. My role this year will probably be more helping the young guys understand the type of basketball players and team we want to have and to help develop those guys. That will be probably my biggest role. Player/coach type guy. Player/coach, coach/player, whichever way you want to arrange it. More coach. I'd prefer that, but probably not."
