Generate summary stats for NBA players based on ESPN NBA data

The function provides descriptive (mean, median, 25 statistic of interest (3PA, 3PM, etc) along with teams of interest (GS, HOU, etc). If positions of interest (C, PG, etc) are specified, the returned tibble depicts relevant descriptive statistics for the relevant positions in the relevant teams.

For reference on the scraped data columns information, please refer to the dataset description: https://github.com/UBC-MDS/rsketball/blob/master/dataset_description.md
