Darvin Ham has been put in charge to work with Andrew Bynum, following a line of assistants of the Lakers that includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kurt Rambis and Brian Shaw.

Ham works with Bynum under the backet every game.

"He has touch, but the balance, that's the thing we work on day in and day out," said Ham, who was a 6-foot-7, 245-pound power forward in the NBA. "He won't find his body in awkward positions. He'll be used to me being heavy on him."

When Ham interviewed with the Lakers, Mike Brown told him to expand Bynum's game.

"Some of the things we did were to give [Bynum] ultra-confidence in his body," Ham said of the workouts. "He's welcomed them. It's a lot of balance, a lot of agility, foot quickness. We want him to have active hands and active feet. Getting low, bending his knees, having his chest up, the right width between his feet."

Bynum is averaging 18.5 points and 15.7 rebounds through his first six games of the season.
