The club finished the regular season with the best record in the Western Conference (26–10), defeated the San Diego Clippers and Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the playoffs, and ended their run only in the Western Conference finals, where they lost a hard-fought battle to the Stockton Kings. This was the most successful South Bay Lakers season in recent years.
“A talented basketball player who can play several positions and should add energy, speed, and one-on-one play. We understand that he is another player without European basketball experience, but we hope he will quickly integrate into the team’s play. From the information we’ve gathered, and we have quite a lot, he is a high basketball IQ person, so we believe Tevian will become another important axis in our game schemes,” said Juventus team manager Eimantas Skersis about the newcomer.
The American had his most productive NBA G League season wearing the Grand Rapids Gold jersey. At that time, he averaged 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
