No, cryptographic hash has an additional property. It is one way. So, given a hash it is hard to derive original input.

Collision resistance is a separate property which can be fulfilled without one way property.

Maybe you want hash numbers that are not predictable by an attacker, but sip hash is not salted either. Plus salting does not require a cryptographic hash either.
