Syracuse, N.Y. -- New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis is likely on his way to becoming the greatest basketball player to ever come out of Latvia.
As a native of that country, Syracuse freshman forward Digna Strautmane is well aware of Porzingis. She doesn't really know him, although they were both at different age group national development camps together.
Thousands of young boys in Latvia no doubt admire Porzingis and want to be just like him someday.
Could young female players in that country someday hold Strautmane in that same regard? That's a topic that only makes her laugh at the moment.
