This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Draven.
Moreover, when Graves plays with Draven on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Draven does a decent job of covering Graves during teamfights.
