Lien scored 26 points a game this year shooting 48 percent from the floor, 37 percent from the arc, and 81 percent from the foul line. Add in 11 boards, four assists, two steals, and two blocks a game and it was a full junior season for Lien.
Now Broden is just focused on improvements over the next dozen months.
“I want to get bigger and quicker for sure,” Lien explained. “I would also like to release the ball quicker, improve ball handling, and finish at the rim better.”
Lien has been heading to North Dakota to get workouts in plus he has the basement to help him as well.
“I have been going to the gym in Fargo and White Earth,” Broden explained. “I try to get in the gym whenever I can. I have my own weight room in my basement. I try to lift 3-4 times a week.”
And when things open back up….
“I am playing with D1 Minnesota this year. I’m going to try to get in the gym almost everyday and get shots up, work on ball handling, and my footwork. Also going back to Moorhead and workout with my trainer.”
Lien has earned a scholarship offer from North Dakota plus several other schools are in contact as well.
“(I’m also hearing from) South Dakota State, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Liberty, Cal Poly, Princeton, Columbia, Wofford, Cornell, Army West Point, Denver, Colorado State, Utah State, Loyola Marymount, Appalachian State, and Boston University,” Lien stated.
“I haven taken a visit to Minnesota State-Moorhead in the fall, Minnesota-Duluth in the winter, and virtual visit with UND.”
What exactly is Lien looking for in a school?
“I just want a school that has what I want to go into. Also how well I fit into their program.”
