We recently conducted team-by-team polls on RealGM to determine which position represents the greatest offseason need as we enter the draft and free agency.

There were 13 teams that voters indicated center was the greatest position of need, followed by eight teams needing upgrades at point guard, seven teams requiring a shooting guard and two teams where small forward is most important. Power forward didn't rank as the single most important position for any of the 30 teams.
