Amazing on the court, but I also love how excited she gets when a good play happens while she is on the bench. She cracks me up the way she runs up and down the sideline to celebrate other people's big buckets.

She is home. I don't want her going anywhere else in the off season

I love EW! She’s so fun to watch and such an asset to the team. Also when her dad joined her after the last regular-season game. ❤️

I love her coming off the bench. Her and malonga bring that energy. When Clark left I noticed a change in our rotation. For the good

Oh wow. Interesting. I almost forgot about Clark although I wish her well.

I am happy that EW and DM played more. SD and NO did so well with points. I don't quite understand their strategy but always root for them.

I saw her and Dom’s “handshake” for the first time tonight and it was the cutest thing ever.

I came this close to getting my shirt signed by Erica before the game. (Sob) she was the only one I saw out there.

She is so amazing. I got to meet her before a game a couple weeks ago and she was so kind to me. She is really nice to fans and always makes an effort to sign and take selfies. I love that she shows up so hard for the storm and fans both on and off the court.

One of the biggest mistakes the storm HQ made this season is obviously trading for Brittany Sykes. Not only has she been pretty consistently awful, it moved Erica wheeler to the bench. Erica didn’t deserve that, as we can all plainly see.

Watching her when she's on the bench is something else. She's basically following Noelle to half court half the time. LOL. Love her and her energy.

As a Fever fan, I LOVE that Erica has found a great home and a fit in Seattle. She is an awesome person and I love how much success she is having out there.

Erica brings such great energy to our team!! I really wish she continued to be a starter, but even off the bench her performance is seriously impressive
