He was selected by the Rio Grande Valley Vipers as the 115th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Development League Draft. Tubbs played at the collegiate level with Alabama and East Tennessee State, known as one of the best pure athletes in the Atlantic Sun Conference following his transfer. He also represented Hewitt-Trussville High School through his early years. Following the 2011 NBA draft, Tubbs signed with MIA Academy.
Tubbs attended Hewitt-Trussville High School in Trussville, Alabama. He averaged 16.9 points and 4.0 rebounds at the conclusion of his last season with the Huskies. During his time with Hewitt-Trussilve, Tubbs garnered All-County, All-Area, and All-Regional honors. Against the Carver High School Mighty Rams, he most notably scored a career-high 46 points.

Collegiate career
Tubbs officially signed with the Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team on June 30, 2006, recruited by Philip Pearson. In his freshman season, he averaged just 3.3 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 0.3 assists. He continued to make little impact on the program as his second year came to a close, with 3.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.3 assists on average. However, he was still named an Academic All-SEC Pick in his time with the Crimson Tide. In early 2008, Tubbs made the decision to transfer to East Tennessee State University, but Buccaneers coach Murry Bartow officially announced the move in June.[2][3] After his junior season, the first with ETSU, Tubbs averaged 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists. On November 25, 2009, he scored a career-high 29 points against Charleston. He was considered the best pure athlete in the Atlantic Sun Conference at the time. In his final year with the Buccaneers, Tubbs averaged 10.5 points 4.6 rebounds, and 0.4 assists.[4][5]
