 How many guys you reckon are better than Avery Bradley as a two way, two guard. Maybe not as many as you think.

It depends who you consider to be a two guard. Are McCollum, Wade, Harden, Middleton, Batum, and Butler twos? There are only a handful of guys who are definitely two guards and definitely better: Klay, Redick, and DeRozan (although I question his true impact). However, if you count all the maybe-twos I listed, then there are a bunch of guys who are better than Bradley. Ultimately, he's top 10 or so at his position, and grades out even better if you were to limit the list to "pure" two guards.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

 I would say these guys are better than Avery.

 Harden
 Derozan
 Klay
 Butler
 CJ
 Wiggins
 Middleton
 Wade

 After that it starts getting really close. Is Oladipo better than Bradley? Not so sure.

 I see everyone you listed a two guard except Batum. I see him as a SF at 6'9"

Position is not defined solely by height. Batum will likely start alongside MKG next year, who is definitely a 3, so that would make Batum a 2. My point is that it's really hard to determine what position anyone plays in today's NBA.

An All-NBA First Team Defensive player that scores 15 points a game is definitely not something to sneeze at...especially considering his bargain salary.

He's not a perfect player but he fills his role superbly.

I would put Bradley ahead of Wade and (for now), CJ and Wiggins because of defense
I'm bitter.
