Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Graves. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This could indicate that Graves does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played together with Graves on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Graves. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Graves.
Moreover, when Nami plays with Graves on the same side, she usually takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Graves does a decent job of covering Nami in team fights.
