After drafting three point guards in the first round in June, the Nets added another first-round guard Monday when they traded for Kobe Bufkin. 

The Nets sent cash considerations to Atlanta for Bufkin, the 15th pick in the 2023 draft, The Post confirmed. 

The Nets — who sent the Hawks $110,000, per HoopsHype — were one of the few teams that could absorb Bufkin into cap space.

He’ll make $4.5 million this season, and they have until Oct. 31 to pick up a $6.9 million team option for 2026-27. 

It marked a departure for Nets general manager Sean Marks, who has spent this offseason using his league-high cap space to garner draft picks by taking salary dumps.

This time, he used it to grab a devalued young asset. 

The Hawks needed roster flexibility, and Bufkin likely needed a fresh chance.

The 21-year-old was blocked in Atlanta by All-Star point guard Trae Young, and he was hindered by a couple of injuries that had limited him to just 27 NBA appearances through his first two seasons. 

Now, he comes to a Nets team that has too many guards on paper but not enough in practice. 

They drafted slick-passing Russian Egor Dëmin out of BYU in the lottery, then followed up by selecting fast Frenchman Nolan Traore and Israeli Ben Saraf later in the first round.

All are point guards. 

While the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Bufkin had come up as an off-guard, he has shot a subpar .220 percent from 3-point range and struggled learning the point guard role as Young’s backup. 

After shoulder surgery in January cut short his season, Bufkin was cleared for summer league and was one of the best players in Las Vegas.

He excelled running the pick-and-roll, averaging 19.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. 

ESPN was first to report the trade. 

Bufkin also attempted seven free throws per game in Las Vegas and shot 96.4 percent.

That also raises hopes that his 3-point shooting may be fixable.
