Tuffin, at 26 years old, spent the last four years in the NZ-NBL, playing for Taranaki in his first year before moving to Wellington for his last three seasons in the league.

During the previous season, the 6-foot-4 Fil-Kiwi averaged 8.21 points, 2.74 rebounds, and 1.0 assist.

Before turning professional, Tuffin had previously played for Far Eastern University.
