Group C isn't a death group...it's pretty obvious that the top 3 seeds will finish in the top 3 in some order and chances are that Roma pick up the 4th seed over Olimpija. It's simply top heavy, not a death group.
Group B, IMO, is wide open. Olympiacos and Efes should both advance, but the other two spots are tough to decide on and so is the order of seeds (1-4). Unicaja, Partizan and Rytas are all pretty strong teams, and Benetton could advance to the 6th seed I believe. That group should be very, very interesting.
Group A: only Barca and Siena are the teams I see advancing for sure. Cibona should finish 3rd or 4th but Fenerbahce and Zalgiris should put up a fight for both seeds. I've never seen ASVEL play so I don't really know what to think of them.
Finally, Group D pits last year's champs (Pao) against the team that arguably improved the most during the offseason (Real). Should be two superb games between those two teams. Khimki were the nightmare 5th seed for any team and could even finish 1st IMO, though I don't see them making much noise later on in the competition. Prokom are weak and so are the Germans, but Milano will have to deal with them well if they want to advance from #4.
