Jazz newcomer Gordon Hayward was rated as the No. 1 rookie in summer-league play in the online Courtside Analyst's last data-based rankings (as of July 15).
Two players with NBA experience — third-year Memphis center Joey Dorseyand Denver sophomore Ty Lawson — ranked ahead of Hayward overall.
But the Jazz's No. 9 pick in last month's draft was rated ahead of the likes of top pick John Wall (10th), Evan Turner (9th), DeMarcus Cousins (5th),Wesley Johnson (13th) and Derrick Favors (15th) in the rankings that factor in a variety of statistics and results.
"The best rookie so far has been Utah's Gordon Hayward," wrote the author, tywill33. "He was exceptional in the Orlando Summer League."
