HUNTER TIME: Pistons backup guard Lindsey Hunter is nearly ready to come back form his early season ankle surgery. His tentative date of return is set for sometime in the middle of January.

Hunter has participated in three-on-three drills during practice for more than a week, and soon should join the five-on-five work.

Then, as soon as Saunders feels Hunter understands the new offense, Hunter can return to the Pistons active lineup.

"I think right now he's more physically ready than he is mentally ready," Saunders said. "Just from a standpoint of understanding what we're doing, how we're playing, what we're trying to do."

But the team will be happy to have Hunter back, especially for his defensive presence. He is the Pistons' best perimeter defender.

With his time out, I would suspect he's been working on spot-shooting more, what with the lack of mobility. He was a sharpshooter when he came in the league, but for the most part he's spent the last few years turning himself into a defensive phenom, forsaking his shot. Maybe with the time off he's finally brushed the dust off of that ol' jumper of his.
