He has no formal professional acting skills. But that didn’t prevent Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Greg St. Jean from putting on a slam dunk performance during his brief role in the critically acclaimed movie, Hustle.
Released last month on Netflix, Hustle centers around Adam Sandler’s character as an NBA scout trying to get relatively unknown Bo Cruz of Spain – played by Utah Jazz forward Juancho Hernangomez – a spot in the NBA. Eventually, Hernangomez winds up on an NBA Draft Combine team that’s coached by St. Jean, who is a hard-nosed coach that answers to no one.
