The innocent teen killed on a basketball court in Queens was already being looked at recruiters to play ball as a freshman at Benjamin Cordoza High School, a family member told The Post Sunday.

“He loved basketball,” the boy’s aunt, Akiba Griffin, said. “He was never involved in anything. Only school and basketball. He was at a basketball game all day on Saturday and he came home and started playing himself and this happened.”

The 14-year-old, Amir Griffin, was shot in the neck around 8 p.m. Saturday while shooting hoops at Baisley Park Houses on Foch Boulevard in Jamaica.

Family and neighbors described the teen as a “really good kid” and “innocent.”

“He just had a smile that lit up the world,” his aunt said. “He would help the neighbors bring up their groceries when the elevator was out. Not a lot of kids like him, not around here anyway. It’s a huge loss for this community.”

Griffin’s family was grappling with the loss.

“We’re all distraught… none of us have slept, ” the aunt said. “His mother, she is not well. His best friend, his cousin, his birthday is today. They’re the same age… he’s not well. The whole family is devastated. It’s hard.”

The NYPD is questioning a number of people in connection with the shooting but, as of Sunday morning, cops were still searching for the shooter.
