We're just 6 days away from the NBA Draft - which will completely change the life of Jimmer Fredette.

But on Friday afternoon, the Glens Falls native managed to squeeze in a visit to his hometown and former elementary school before he becomes a professional basketball player.

Fredette went back to Sanford Elementary School to talk to the kids about reaching for their dreams.

This was the media's last opportunity to interview him before next Thursday's NBA Draft.  Fredette talked about how his life has changed over the past year, what he's had to go through to get ready for the NBA as well as the feeling about hearing his name called on draft night.

Stay tuned to "Sound-off with Sinkoff" next week as we'll have interviews with both Jimmer Fredette and his dad, Al.
