LeBron James knows talent when he sees it and he's already hyping up Charlotte Hornets rookie Miles Bridges. The super athletic swingman in Charlotte enthused the Carolina crowd against the Boston Celtics on Friday. In their first preseason game, Bridges completed multiple highlight-reel dunks.

Bridges' performance impressed LeBron so much, he took to Twitter to call out the high-flying performance.

There's a distinct connection between James and Bridges. No, Bridges to Los Angeles isn't happening, but both players are repped by Rich Paul of Klutch Sports. That's why James called Bridges, “So Klutch!!!” in his tweet.

Bridges showcased his exceptional athleticism against the Celtics. That's the first thing that jumps out about Bridges' game. He's very instinctual on the court and these types of tip-in dunks are indicative of his explosiveness. He attacks the rim well in space and can run the break in transition.

The Michigan State product needs to work on creating off the dribble and working to find his own shot. But his limitations are all things he can develop as he grows in the league. Bridges needs work before he becomes a star in the league but expect him to be a regular on the highlight reel.

His future is bright and he's in a situation where he should get the playing time to make a name for himself. After one preseason game, he's off to a good start.
