Assistant Chuck Person confirmed that the Lakers will focus their defense on keeping Andrew Bynum close to the basket once again under new coach Mike Brown. The Lakers don't want Bynum on the perimeter where he can get exposed and/or get hurt. By plopping him down in the paint, he becomes a dominant rebounder and shot blocker. The 12.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks Bynum averaged after the All-Star break last year are within reach again.
