Welcome To Keys To The Gym 
What is great about this habit is that you become a threat to get you team a score wherever you are. You might have the ball 75 feet from the basket and the defense does not need to guard against a shot, but you can still see that open teammate 30 feet upcourt who can attack and put pressure on the defense. Peeking establishes an on the attack mentality which gives the defense no chance to relax and which punishes laziness or inattention. It rewards your teammates who are active and attentive when playing without the ball.
