However lets take your question a little further. Why not take just leucine, or just all 3 bcaa's....What purpose does it serve to consume all amino's....I dont have any research to show you(havent tried looking) but I would assume its because of this......
Yes leucine will signal the body for protein synthesis, however muscle tissue is made up of all the essential and non-essential amino's including bcaa's. So these amino's are required to build new tissue, or increase the size of existing tissue.....something like that......I've seen a thread in this forum a long time ago(probably been pruned) by Boyd(musclesntx) on this very topic.

Well, I won't touch the leucin issue. I've been doing some reading over at intense muscle and one huge mofo was saying he took leucine immediatly post workout and then his pwo shake 30 minutes later. I believe he took his leucine with creatine as well.
