The Bulls announced today that Lindsey Hunter has been hired as a Player Development Assistant.

"During his time with the Bulls, Lindsey has been very valuable to our team in a number of ways," said Bulls General Manager Gar Forman. "With his experience and knowledge of the game, along with the relationships that he has built with our players, I have no doubt he will be an asset to the team."

Hunter, 39, assumes his new role following a 17-year career in the NBA.

"This move is a natural progression for me. Not only will it help our team in the short term, but I hope that it will reap rewards over the long term as well," said Hunter. "I am pleased to remain a member of the Bulls organization."

Hunter signed with Chicago as a free agent on Nov. 13, 2008. During his one-plus seasons with the Bulls, he played in 41 games and posted 2.1 ppg and 1.1 apg in 9.4 mpg. The Utica, Miss. native also played with the Pistons (1993-2000, 2003-'08), the Milwaukee Bucks (2000-'01), the Lakers (2001-02) and the Toronto Raptors (2002-'03).

Originally selected by the Pistons in the first round (10th overall) of the 1993 NBA Draft out of Jackson State, Hunter earned NBA All-Rookie Second Team honors in 1994.
