Is it because other people talked about him first?
I currently have both in my team, but reconsidering Kini. If I had to chose 1 it would be Cotric. Don't mind a slower burn if they have the position and can provide decent cover if needed, especially at the worst position to cover at CTR.
It sounds like Burbo will be EDG in R1, but then there are 2 weeks for Schuster to recover, get fitter and claim that spot on return. Can't miss Burbo in case he gets the position for longer (thinking of K Brom a few years ago when he held that position for the season, when we all thought he was just the fill in), but you don't want to be relying on Burbo if playing on the bench R2 (or later rounds). Replacing Burbo on that budget would only really leave you with Cotric as the option at CTR anyway. Might as well start with him.
Its pretty likely going to be messy with the cheap backs anyway. Could see Strange start at CTR in R1 and dropped in R2 for Kris.
My season last year was screwed by getting hit with early injuries that I couldn't replace fast enough, with only 2 trades per week. That included needing to trade out Trindall as well when the injuries were hitting.
Of all the cheap backs, Kini is the one that will definitely be out R2 and is expected to be unavailable from R4 or 5, giving him just 2 or 3 games, with a week off in the middle of it. Why take an unnecessary risk?
