Output

  1. One row per qualifying player, with team_name, player_name, points_per_game, team_rank, and percentile_within_team.
  2. Percentile should be expressed from 0 to 100 and rounded to two decimal places.
  3. Order by team name, rank, and player name. Rows with NULL points per game are ignored.
