Unable to get stats for current season

[AnkitPatanaik]

When trying to make a call getting data for the current season (season ending in 2019), I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "compare.py", line 25, in <module>
    print(get_stats(get_values(["Joe Harris", "Kevin Durant"])))

@AnkitPatanaik thanks for reporting this issue

It looks like Basketball Reference added the F-G position value for Jimmy Butler's 2018-2019 Philadelphia 76ers season totals.

This is the first time I've seen this position value used for a player's season totals (usually, the multi-position values are used when a player has played multiple positions across multiple teams).

#53 should fix this - I'll close this issue when the patch version has been published to PyPi.

Awesome! Thanks a lot :)

@AnkitPatanaik After installing v3.1.1, I hope your issue has been resolved. Please re-open if that's not the case.

Hey @jaebradley, I tried install version 3.1.1 but pip was unable to find the updated version. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

~/dev/fantasy-bball(branch:master*) » pip install basketball_reference_web_scraper==3.1.1
Collecting basketball_reference_web_scraper==3.1.1
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement basketball_reference_web_scraper==3.1.1 (from versions: 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1)
No matching distribution found for basketball_reference_web_scraper==3.1.1

EDIT: looks like I had an outdated version of pip

It looks like there are some other positions that are not accounted for:

I would presume there might be combinations like "F-C" and "G" as well but I am yet to confirm
