Klutch clients Kai Jones, Moses Moody, and Jalen Johnson had dinner last night and worked out today with the Warriors. Davion Mitchell also did, but did not speak to media. SF Chronicle writer Connor Letourneau wrote earlier today that Mitchell had a flight to catch.

Quick hot takes:

• I’m increasingly impressed by Jones. Not only with some of the defensive video highlights I’ve seen, but also today with his seemingly high IQ and attention to detail, especially when I asked him to describe guarding the 1 through 4. The video will come out soon on our YouTube channel and the notes below are a bit sparse on that topic as I was the one asking the question. More on Jones later, I promise, but he’s quickly rising up my mental Draft board.

• Moody, just a kid from Little Rock, Arkansas who played for the hometown team, seems to have learned a ton from ex-Warriors coach Eric Musselman, who no doubt has been hyping up Moody to his former employer, as well as Monte Poole, who recently spoke to him. Moody says he got a year head start on NBA terminology. We have a deep dive on Moody coming soon.

• Moody is the only one of these three Klutch clients who has met Draymond Green. They connected at Rich Paul’s house recently for a boxing match, presumably in Las Vegas where Green is training for Team USA (fyi haven’t verified this). Draymond told Moody to “keep the main thing the main thing”, i.e., his basketball career.

• Johnson said he had a good shooting workout. I am not as high on Johnson, because of Jones.
