Lost in the Nets’ Dennis Schroder trade — and the high-level impact on tanking and the draft — are the young guards going out, and coming back in.

The Nets brought back two-way guard Reece Beekman from Golden State, and waived Yongxi Cui — now out for the year with a torn ACL — to make room.

“When you’re able to acquire a young guy that we’ve been studying for a while, going back to his college days, the group here has been focused on [Beekman] and bringing him in and taking a good close-up look at him,” GM Sean Marks said.

“So from a defensive standpoint, we’re going to miss some of the things with Dennis leaving, and hopefully when Reece comes in here, he can pick up the slack. And he’ll have every opportunity like the rest of these guys to go out there and compete, earn minutes and be a part of this rotation, hopefully.”
