However I fear that he might end up a jack of all traits and misses out on the senior NT like his predecessor Mohd Safri, who is also an all-rounded small forward
Mohd Safri, as in Mohd Safri bin Mohamed
(6010829)? I had a look at him when this season began, but he has not reached the needed quality to be selected. If his trainer trains him right, he may get the chance next season. We'll see.
As for Mohd Shawal bin Md Noh, with his height, I think he is more suitable to be trained as an outside based SF or an out-and-out SG. Assuming Spaz is training him in this fashion, I'd expect him, on his 22nd birthday, to have a good JS (>=14), JR (>=12) and OD (>=12) with ID & Reb (>=10) for SF or HND & DRV (>=12) for SG. But this is just my opinion.
