‘Butterfly Hunter’...that’s much nicer than the term I usually use.

A few of my favs from back in the day (a bit clichéd):
Stand him up
Chuck it in the mixer
Get into em
Heels
Hold the area
One more
Salmon like
Two's

My father used to say after someone dribbled past a few players (Usually George Best), "He went thru them like a packet of salts".
Another one is "He tied them in knots".
I think those expressions are seldom heard nowadays because dribbling is a lost art.
