Expert Analysis
Aaron Proia | Prep Hoops Scout
-Puffenberger is still shaking off the rust after returning from an injury that ended the season a bit early, but you can’t teach his size. He times his dives to the rim from the weak side well to snag offensive rebounds, is a versatile offensive threat as a roll or pop target in ball screens, and has a good motor on the glass. He’s mostly right-hand dominant when shooting in traffic around the rim but has shown steady progress with his post footwork around the rim to create high-efficiency finishing angles. Once he works himself back into game shape he should be a dynamic weapon for a 15u Thrill team that relies on his size.

Puffenbarger is going to take patience considering the sheer size that he brings as a freshman. He’s approaching 6-foot-8 with good length, soft touch around the rim, and the makeup to develop into a true rim presence at either end. As he continues to adjust to his body, become a more fluid athlete, and improve his quickness, Puffenbarger will have a great chance of being one of the better true bigs with size in this class.

Read EvaluationTom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
Puffenbarger is a space eating forward who makes his mark on the interior. He is improving on the offensive end and can score the basketball in different ways. He found ways to alter shots and has great timing going up to contest shots. Puffenbarger is just starting to scratch the surface and should be on of the most regarded prospects in the Baltimore and DMV area in his class. Looking forward to watching his development over the coming months.
