“It depends on the day and what that noise is When I say, I can handle the noise, that’s my own thoughts.” Hughes said.

He added, “Obviously, I know there’s noise out there. It is weird, but I just know in my head that all I have to do is just control what I can control, which is to try to bring my best every night. At the start of season … when it wasn’t going in for me, what’s the point in pouting or wondering: Why didn’t this go in or that go in? If you think you’re that good, then just go score or go make a play. And that’s kind of what I’m trying to do. Just go play and see what I can do.”
