Can you provide evidence of this? I haven't seen any. Are you confusing Oturu with Okongwu? If not, please show me some examples of Oturu going top 10 in mocks.

Correct, he gets his height from his 6'1" mother.

I don't think so Jefferson had a mobility issue not just a sub standard explosion. He was more of a black whole.

Yeah, that's true man. I'm actually pretty high on Oturu, And wouldn't at all be surprised to see him go as high as somewhere in the teens to 20s'. I made the Al Jefferson comp mainly due to how dominant a post player he was back in his prime. And he easy he made it look scoring. But again, as mentioned, I do see Oturu as being a more fluid (mobile/agile) and better shot blocking ( more athletic) version of Al Jefferson. And with a three point shot. So in hindsight, It might have just been better to summarize the comp as: A much faster, more athletic rich mans' version of Al Jefferson. But both still being quite dominant ( and scoring easily) in the post.
I do think that either Boston or Dallas looks to draft him, Depending on whichever team hasn't already taken Achiuwa first.
