Tuffin, who played for FEU in college, was in fact invited by the Tall Blacks to join the national team pool for the FIBA Asia Cup but he rejected it knowing that he wanted to come back to the country.“I didn't get to play in my last year in FEU because of the pandemic so I feel like it was a bit sayang. I didn't get into the draft right away,” he recalled.
“I feel like my three years in New Zealand playing professionally obviously with the Wellington Saints does really good for me. That's why I want to come back here and showcase my skills and contribute to any team that is willing to give me an opportunity,” Tuffin shared. “I kinda left here in the Philippines as a four man in FEU because we didn't have any bigs. Going to New Zealand the system was very European style, it's very systematic and I really like playing that way and obviously I transitioned to two and a three,” said Tuffin.
