Victor Wembanyma might be regarded as the next big thing in world basketball and the NBA as a potential No.1 Draft pick, but the French prospect couldn't help it when AS Monaco took the floor against Boulogne-Levallois.

The team from the Principality took no prisoners and powered by an excellent offensive night sealed its spot in the French Cup quarter-finals with a blowout (107-76).

Mike James scored 18 points on 4/5 from the field and 3/3 from beyond the arc, and Elie Okobo 13 for Sasa Obradovic's squad, who were up 29-17 after the first 10 minutes and 58-38 at halftime. From that point on, everything was very simple for the EuroLeague side that cruised to an easy win.

On the losing side, Victor Wembanyama racked up a double-double of 13 points on 4/10 field-goal shooting and 11 rebounds, along with 5 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal, but also had 7 turnovers in 25 minutes.
